Distrito Uruguay - Mensaje del Distrito Uruguay ante la pandemia del COVID-19
Published in News from DistrictsKeine Monatstreffen wegen Coronavirus? Muss nicht sein, sagte sich der PC Chur und Umgebung. Christoph Schmid, der hartnäckig nach einer Lösung zur“ Rettung“ seines Starts als neuer Präsident gesucht hatte, fand in seinem Vorstand die Lösung. „Lasst uns doch, statt dem April-Meeting im Hotel Stern, ein virtuelles Treffen via Telefon machen“, sagte unser Medienverantwortliche Reinhard Spahr, dem diese zündende Idee unter der Dusche kam. Die Mitglieder konnten sich zur üblichen Zeit per Telefon einloggen, um dem Referat von Denise Rudin, Leiterin der Abteilung Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention beim Gesundheitsamt Graubünden, beizuwohnen. „Gesundheit in der Krise“ lautete der Titel ihres Referats. Dabei zeigte die Referentin eindrücklich auf, wie Sport- und Bewegungsförderung besonders auch für ältere Semester von grosser Bedeutung sind. Somit könne die Schwelle zur Behinderung und Abhängigkeit um Jahre hinausgeschoben werden. Mit Tipps für gesunde Ernährung und Motivation für Bewegung konnte Denise Rudin motivieren, sich auch im Alter und in Zeiten des Coronavirus fit zu halten. Im Anschluss an das Referat wurden Fragen der Teilnehmer beantwortet.
Für Clubs, die sich für solche Audiokonferenzen via Telefon interessieren, sagt Reinhard Spahr: „Mittlerweile gibt es in allen Panathlonclubs Leute, die wissen, wie man eine Telefonkonferenz organisiert. Es gibt zahlreiche Anbieter wie z.B. www.telefonkonferenz.ch oder Microsoft Teams, um Konferenzen abzuhalten.“
