#SaludTues Tweetchat 1p ET 1/12/16: How to Increase Active Spaces for Kids

Share On Social!

Physical activity is scientifically proven to improve health outcomes.

But some kids have less safe physical activity opportunities, including fewer parks and places to walk and bike in their neighborhoods and less time for recess and P.E. in their schools.

Join #SaludTues on December 15, 2015, at 1:00 PM EST to tweet about how we can use new research and stories to redefine physical activity for lifelong health, and how parents, schools, cities, nonprofits, and parks can collaborate and ensure access to #ActiveSpaces for all kids.

• WHAT: #SaludTues Tweetchat: “How to Increase Active Spaces for Kids”
