IdéeSport Foundation
CSS is the exclusive health partner of the IdéeSport Foundation. The “MiniMove” and “OpenSunday” programmes get more than 90,000 children across Switzerland moving every year.
Championing better health
The IdéeSport Foundation has been committed to promoting physical and mental wellbeing for 25 years. By creating programmes that bring people together and get them moving, they enable both participants and coaches to develop life skills, strengthen cohesion and break down cultural and social barriers. Each year, over 3,500 events take place at around 180 locations across Switzerland’s three language regions. The partnership with CSS begins with the 2025/26 season, which runs from October to April.
Facilities open on Sundays
CSS supports the “MiniMove” and “OpenSunday” programmes, which are held on Sundays during the winter months. These events provide space for physical activity and social interaction and are run by young coaches from the local area. Around 1,000 sessions are held each year, all free of charge and open to all without prior registration.
«MiniMove»
MiniMove is aimed at pre-school children and their accompanying adults. In local sports halls, participants can explore a range of physical activities, experience joy and positive emotions and interact with people from different backgrounds.
«OpenSunday»
Primary school-aged children meet up with friends at OpenSundays to enjoy free play or have fun on an obstacle course.
Promoting an inclusive society
Since 2019, the programme has also been open to children with disabilities, fostering an inclusive society and helping children mutually reduce barriers. The events are led by young coaches from the local area. Around 1,000 sessions are held each year, all free of charge and open to all without prior registration.
Health partner for children and their families
As a health partner, CSS is committed to promoting a healthy, resilient lifestyle. By collaborating with IdéeSport, it plays its part in improving the physical and mental wellbeing of children, young people and their families across Switzerland. Encouraging movement and socialisation from an early age lays the foundation for a healthy life. In this way, the goals of IdéeSport’s programmes fully align with CSS’s philosophy as a health partner.
