About the Project

Green Spaces for Healthier, More Active Lives

The Ven za zdravje 4 – Strokovna podpora občinam in regijam za načrtovanje zelenih površin za aktivni življenjski slog prebivalcev project focuses on improving public health by enhancing the quality and accessibility of green spaces and encouraging their use for everyday physical activity.
