Healthy communities
For all Copenhageners
A movement for the future
A movement for the future
We are Copenhagen’s health promoter. Each year, we welcome more than 1 million guests for mental, physical, and social health. These are the healthy communities of the future – and you are helping create them.
YOU ARE PART OF THE TEAM
Welcome to a better city, every day. Here, every move you make counts towards Copenhagen’s health.
You truly make a difference, both socially and economically, every time you work out, team build, or hold your meeting at DGI Byen. Yes, you might not realize it, but you are already playing on one of the most important teams, helping and supporting those who need it. In this way, your hand also supports at-risk youth, lonely seniors, and families with small children who need us.
Together, we’re getting closer to the finish line for better mental, physical, and social health – and we’re always in motion. So every time you do something good for your body, you’re also doing something good for others. We call that team spirit. Whether you prefer padel or pool disco. Conferences or art. Professional communities or great associations.
Be reinvested again and again. In football, business dinners, outdoor yoga, and designer markets. We’re here for you – and you make a difference for us. Thank you for being on the team.
