In the third example, we move and play outdoors with the power of four generations. The strong urbanization that took place in Finland from the 1950s to the 1980s separated large age groups (birth years 1945-1960) from their parents and grandparents, who were often hundreds of kilometers away in the countryside. It led to a long-term decline in the communality of different generations. In recent decades, even in big cities, three or even four generations of families live quite close to each other. The video uses the example of one family to show how to play outdoors between three generations. (Saarenheimo 2014ab; Pohjolainen & Tiihonen, 2015).

The fourth example is a rather typical solution of Finnish and Nordic society to social problems and, for example, the organization of sports, ie the activities of voluntary organizations in the third sector for the common good. In this case, the Go Out with the Elderly Campaign has partnered with the Lions Club. The campaign has trained Lions Club volunteers to be outdoor friends, who then take care of outdoor activities for the elderly. The importance of third sector organizations in Finland is very great in sports, youth activities, the social and health sectors, but also in the work of the elderly.
