Allianz MoveNow Camp – Global Edition – September 2024

In its role as a Worldwide Olympic & Paralympic Partner, Allianz is dedicated to promoting physical activity among young individuals around the globe. Through team sports, the aim is to cultivate essential physical, mental, and social skills that will equip the next generation for the future. 

That’s why Allianz and FC Bayern München teamed up to host the second MoveNow Camp – Global Edition from September 12th to 16th.

The participating adolescents were chosen through Allianz-hosted sports camps or events in their home countries. 30 talented young athletes traveled from 10 countries to our international sports camp in Munich, Germany, where they took part in professional athletic training in various disciplines (including mindfulness and teamwork).

To not just move their bodies but also their mind and soul, additional yoga and workshops on inclusion and movement promotion were offered. The highlight of every activity was the personal exchange and meet & greet with professional athletes and coaches.

Participants practise yoga
Under the guidance of a professional yoga instructor, the participants practiced their yoga skills, learned to connect their breath with their movements and found inner peace through meditation.
