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.
Together with national coordinators and
partner organisations, among them also
EUSA as an official partner, it tries to not
only make Europe healthier, but also helps
strengthen the continent in more ways
than one, based on shared values and
interests.
Since its launch in 2015, the European
Week of Sport, which takes place on an
annual basis from September 23-30, has
brought together hundreds of organisa-
tions and offers demonstrations in several
sports, also offering information about the
benefits of sports activities and healthy
nutrition.Countries who hold the presidency of the
Council of the European Union have the
honour of kicking off the week’s activities,
which spread widely across the continent
for the duration of the seven days andinclude a number of diverse events rang-
ing from shows and demonstrative ses-
sions to workshops and social matches.In 2018, 12 million participants from 42
countries participated in over 48 000
separate events across Europe to cel-
ebrate the European Week of Sport across
the seven days.ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
