Vienna Health Promotion

More than 97,000 people live in Vienna's 12th district. Meidling is characterized by diversity. Built-up residential areas and the transport hub at Meidling Station contrast with allotment garden estates and the district near Hetzendorf Castle.

With its activities, Vienna Health Promotion — WiG focuses on the various areas and at the same time uses the resources already available in the district.

All people living in Vienna in a healthy district can join in from the age of 14. You should find at least a second person who will participate in organizing and implementing the activity.
