EUROPEAN WEEK OF SPORT

The European Week of Sport (EWOS) and the #BeActive campaign initiated by

the European Commission, aim to promote sport and physical activity across

Europe. EUSA together with national coordinators and partner organisations,

is not only trying to make Europe healthier, but also striving to strengthen the

continent in more ways than one, based on our shared values and interests.

The emphasis of the European
Week of Sport is that sport,
recreation, and physical
activity are for everyone,
regardless of age, background,
or fitness level. With a focus
on grassroots initiatives the
European Commission, national
coordinators and partners
strive to inspire Europeans to
#BeActive on a regular basis
and to create opportunities in
peoples’ everyday lives to be
more active.

Every year from 23 to 30
September, the European Week

of Sport promotes more active,

healthier lifestyles to millions of

people in Europe and beyond.

This year, the stunning city of

Prague was the host of the

eighth edition of the European

Week of Sport, welcoming

around 250 participants from

different countries for the

people in activities and hobbies

that can keep them fit and
