What is the European Week of Sport?
The European Week of Sport (#BeActive) is an initiative of the European Commission launched in 2015 with the aim of promoting sport and physical activity across Europe. Every year, from 23 to 30 September, millions of people take part in events that celebrate the joy of movement and active life.
The Ministry of Sport and Youth, as the National Coordination Body, strives to encourage the public to be active throughout the year, and the goal of the European Week of Sport is to promote physical activity, regardless of age or physical fitness, while educating citizens about healthy lifestyles.
For 10 years now, we've been working together. Join and be part of a common mission for a healthier and more active society!
Together we are stronger - sport connects communities!
We are on a mission to bring together individuals, national sports federations and clubs, recreationists and professionals, civil society organizations, public and private sectors. Through local initiatives, the European Week of Sport will encourage citizens to be active on a regular basis (#BeActive) and provide them with more opportunities to exercise in their daily lives.
Modern technologies allow us to be connected non-stop, which also means that we move less. This year's European Week of Sport is celebrated under the slogan "Move more, scroll less", and we invite you to join us. Every move counts!
