Active UCC
We want to create and provide opportunities for all our students and staff to grow and increase participation in all forms of physical activity in UCC . Our priorities are:
- Design and launch #ActiveUCC to co-ordinate and promote physical activity through all our programmes (including our campus-wide UCC Made2Move programme), and to co-ordinate physical activity and health enhancing initiatives with the aim of being Ireland’s first university green and active flags and most active campus.
- Reward and recognise participation to demonstrate UCC’s belief in the value of health and wellbeing.
- Work with the extended community in Cork and the region – ie schools, Cork Sports Partnership, local agencies, sports groups, outdoor education and adventure sports sector to promote and develop sport and physical activity
The UCC Clubs Executive is committed to promoting health in UCC among both students and staff. The Health Promotion Officer sits on the steering committee of the UCC Health Matters group and acts as liaison between outside groups and students.
Here we provide some useful information on the following topics:
Physical Activity
Take the Stairs Campaign
Ditch the Car Campaign
Walking Meetings
Healthy Eating
Quitting Smoking
The UCC Health Matters page is also an invaluable source of information. Please check it out at:
