About Us:
We are the running group "Austausch bewegt!". We came together in 2020 through the non-profit association Leipziger Bündnis gegen Depression. Every Thursday at 17:30, we meet at the Quarterback Immobilien Arena to run and exchange. We see ourselves as a moving self-help group, aiming to offer those affected by depression and their relatives an opportunity for physical activity. The goal is to awaken the joy of moving together without performance pressure. The focus is not on achieving peak physical performance, but rather on using sport to help those affected talk about themselves, their daily worries, and depression. This way, sport can become a pleasant experience for those with depression, creating space for encounters and exchange of experiences. Everyone is welcome; no one has to talk. Our motto: "It's about moving time, not kilometers run."
The Leipziger Bündnis gegen Depression e.V. is a non-profit association funded solely by donations and grants. You can read more about their awareness and counseling work and various offers for those affected and their relatives here: https://buendnis-depression-leipzig.de
