'I CHOOSE LIFE ' and the Beginning of a Profound Friendship

'I CHOOSE LIFE ' and the Beginning of a Profound Friendship
"In February 2022, I was skiing and ski mountaineering  in the mountains around Sarajevo with two filmmakers from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Zoran Kubura and Bojan Hadžiabdić. And I was deeply impressed and enamored. Enamored with their way of seeing things, their passion for their profession as filmmakers, their humility, and their exceptional cinematic abilities to convey complex subjects with precision. They aren't just empty talkers; they are thinkers and doers working towards a better world. Their focus as directors and filmmakers remains on meaningful projects and their cinematic execution.



Since then, I have been fortunate enough to call them my friends. After the documentary I CHOOSE LIFE, which portrayed my role as the President and Founder of OAC (Outdoor Against Cancer), we collaborated on another project together:




CHOOSE the HEALTHy way - a short film about the healthy lifestyle of young cancer survivors. From over 780 entries submitted, the WHO selected a shortlist of 90 films. OACCUs’ entry “CHOOSE the HEALTHy way” was officially selected as one of the 15 films within the category “Special Prize: Very Short Film

Concept, idea and production of the short film: Petra Thaller, founder and president of Outdoor Against Cancer and cancer survivor.
Directing, camera and editing: Bojan Hadžiabdić and Zoran Kubura from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Our next joint project involves creating videos for the personalized training plan of the Outdoor Against Cancer Connects Us App, or simply OACCUs App.
Until today, it has been an incredible journey of creativity, friendship, and shared aspirations, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such talented and inspiring filmmakers." - Petra Thaller

Mission Of the European Union Co-Funded School Project: Rock Your Health - RYHEALTH

Mission Of the European Union Co-Funded School Project: Rock Your Health - RYHEALTH
ROCK Your Health - Learn, experience and live healthy behaviours in a sustainable way
Rock Your Health (RYHEALTH) is a project of 6 partners from 4 European countries that aims to develop a holistic intervention for students, a socially integrated concept that will spread in society and will have a great impact on health promotion and disease prevention in the EU.
Project priorities include physical activity in a healthy environment, healthy balanced diets, mental health, well-being of students and young people. RYHEALTH starts at the primary school and is permanently anchored in the secondary school. The goal is to learn, experience and live healthy behaviours in a sustainable way. In doing so, RYHEALTH enables the setting of positive, health-promoting triggers related to healthy lifestyles. RYHEALTH reaches children of different socio-economic status and is designed to involve teachers, students, parents having thus an intergenerational impact and meeting totally the EU4Health goal: HealthyLifeStyle4All. The specific objectives are:

  • Supporting the promotion of outdoor activity, a healthy environment, healthy eating, and healthy lifestyle behaviours among students of primary and secondary schools as an effective measure to prevent and reduce the risk of developing cancer and NCDs like obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
  • Improving the competences of teachers, students, and parents to embed health promotion and disease prevention through healthy lifestyle behaviours among students and young people.
  •  Facilitating and increasing the practices of health enhancing lifestyle activities in a healthy environment among people from an early age according to the guidelines of EU4Health.
  • Increasing the awareness of good healthy habits related to a physical active life and healthy diet decreasing unhealthy behaviours with accessible and friendly-user targeted information and communication.
  • Generating a developing European community and network of institutions, schools, students, and families involved in the promotion of sport, outdoor activities, and healthy lifestyle.

Petra Thaller, Founder & President OAC
"As author of this project I am committed to ensuring that this project gradually inspires more schools at the European level with its educational content. I will make every effort to promote the adoption of this project by schools across Europe, encouraging them to incorporate its teachings into their curriculum. Together, we can work towards creating a widespread impact on the well-being and education of children throughout the continent."
