- Abstract
- Background
The health of people with functional variation in Sweden is worse than people without functional variation. A health-promoting resource in adults’ lives is meaningful employment, and for people with functional variation it means some form of daily activity. The project "Grow with horsepower" is a person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity for people with function variation, who are far from the labor market. Therefore, the project links to SDG No. 3 and 8.
Purpose of the study is to explore how the person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity is experienced by the participants from a health promotion perspective.

The health of people with functional variation in Sweden is worse than people without functional variation. A health-promoting resource in adults’ lives is meaningful employment, and for people with functional variation it means some form of daily activity. The project "Grow with horsepower" is a person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity for people with function variation, who are far from the labor market. Therefore, the project links to SDG No. 3 and 8.
Purpose of the study is to explore how the person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity is experienced by the participants from a health promotion perspective.
Method in the study is an action-oriented approach and data collection takes place through recurring reflection meetings and focus group interviews. Participants (n=10) aged 18-35 are both men and women.
Findings show that through the person-centered and nature-oriented daily activities, the participants experience: 1) Health development (physical, mental, social); 2) Learning and personal development (metacognition, influence, relationships). These experiences of development connect to social sustainability both individually and through group processes.
Conclusion is that this kind of daily activity contributes to social sustainability by strengthening the participants through increased health, learning and personal development. These strengthening prerequisites create opportunity for participation in working life in the long term. This is significant from a micro perspective for the participant; a meso perspective for organizations/authorities; and a macro perspective for societal priorities.
