10 years of #BeActive celebrated at European Week of Sport opening in Copenhagen

September marked the 10th anniversary of the European Week of Sport and its #BeActive campaign, inspiring over 353,000 events and 103 million participants across 42 countries. At the opening in Copenhagen, Commissioner Glenn Micallef urged Europeans to “scroll less and move more” and called for more Erasmus+ opportunities for sport organisations to tackle inactivity. The next day’s conference addressed Europe’s sedentary crisis, mental health challenges and physical literacy, showcasing local projects, such as the Starting Bloc Project coordinated by our partner, the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark – DIF. This project is one of many examples of how being engaged in sports clubs can help young people stay in the education system or enter the employment market.
