Teens living with T1D- Co-Create a new Online Exercise Program

Welcome to our 🏋️‍♂️ Online Exercise Program Creation Workshop 🏋️‍♀️ Get ready for a session where your ideas count!

We are inviting teenagers aged 14-17 with Type 1 Diabetes—whether you're new to exercise or already active—to help create our brand-new exercise program made just for YOU regardless how fit you are.

What is this about?

The Kids Institute is designing a program to promote physical and mental health for teens living with Type 1 Diabetes. In this program everyone will be welcome irrespective of their current fitness levels and experience with exercise. We want to offer you an opportunity to connect online with other young people with Type 1 diabetes and help create something special.

We need your help to give us feedback if we are on the right track in meeting your needs. It only takes an hour and takes place online. You can participate via audio or chat. Join – even if you are just curious what this is about! Don’t miss this fun opportunity.

What Have We Accomplished So Far, and What Comes Next?
We’ve interviewed several teens and used their valuable feedback to create something truly special. Now, we’re in the final stage of follow-up workshops, and we need your insights to refine and finalize our ideas. Your input will make all the difference!

What to Expect at the Online Workshop:

Led by a health psychologist from the Telethon Kids Institute, this workshop is your chance to brainstorm, share feedback, and play a key role in creating our exciting new program. We will be presenting you with our plan and ask you for your opinion. For example, the actual program may include expert support on goal setting, motivation, and managing diabetes during exercise, an online community with other teens living with T1D and much more…

Your role is to sit back and just tell us what you like and dont like! YOU have a say what we will include.

Can't make this date but still keen to join and contribute: We may be able to offer individual online interviews. Please e-mail: [email protected] and let me know a date and time that works.

What Happens After the Workshop?

We will take your ideas on board, develop the program. Once the program is ready you are very welcome to participated in a program that YOU co-created!
