From 2019 to 2023, the Hanover region launched the Healthy Living - Staying Healthy project to promote local health in cooperation with the Association of Replacement Funds. V. (vdek) in Lower Saxony and the state capital Hanover. The aim was to raise awareness of adults in two socially disadvantaged districts for their own health through behavioral and relationship-related measures.

The practical guide that has now been published is aimed at practitioners and decision-makers who are or want to become active in community health promotion. He guides you through the development process of the project and experiences and insights are shared. Information and tools are also provided to initiate health promotion measures specific to dialogue groups.

Since an institute at the Hannover Medical School provided scientific support for the project, there is also a detailed evaluation report.

The two reports can be found on www.hannover.de/projektgesundleben and further information about the project can be found here Link.
