#BEACTIVE DAY is an European-wide campaign celebrating the fun of physical activity and the benefits of being active for mental, social and physical wellbeing. #BEACTIVE DAY materialises through thousands of events and activities organised across the continent.

 

As part of the European Week of Sport, #BEACTIVE DAY is a collaboration between EuropeActive and its 20 national association partners, which will be hosting during the European Week of Sport (23-30 September) thousands of free events and activities organised across Europe and beyond in different locations such as health and fitness clubs, workplaces, outdoor facilities and many more places.

 

#BEACTIVE DAY is open to everyone. All organisations are welcome to get involved and to organise free events to enable people to be more active - in the workplace, at school, indoors or outdoors.

Commenting on the campaign, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel said:

 

“The #BEACTIVE DAY campaign is a wonderful example of how our partners can contribute to the success of the European Commission’s European Week of Sport. I was impressed by the results of last year’s #BEACTIVE DAY, and now look very much forward to seeing it gain further momentum this year. With EuropeActive and its actors, we join forces to encourage Europeans to be more active, to improve their general health and wellbeing and to make the most of our HealthyLifeStyle4All campaign!”
