Hi, I am Jessie Chen ZENG, a Secretary of Guangzhou YMCA, P.R.China. Physical activity and health is one of our main focuses, as YMCA is all for young people’s holistic development.

What motivates me for joining this project is the desire of finding more innovative, attractive and accessible ways to get young people of different physical conditions and competencies moving.

I’d bring to the project our experience in running volunteer-based inclusive sport program as well as ideas of combining grassroots sport with volunteer movement.

I wish this project could be a platform which facilitates sharing of ideas, connects people and resources, incubates joint programs, and exerts long-lasting positive impact in Europe and China.

My regular physical activity includes jogging outside 2-3 times a week, and doing fitness training at home 2-3 times a week using workout apps. I like hiking and camping, and am now learning swing dance.

I live in the city of Guangzhou, which has a population of 15 million. I ride bicycle or take public transport for daily commute, which is a previlege I enjoyed because I live not far away from my workplace.
