The seventh edition of the European Week of Sport takes place from 23rd-30th September 2021. This year’s theme highlights the power of physical activity to bring joy, build resilience and connect generations.

During the opening day of the European Week of Sport, an event that promotes more active, healthier lifestyles to millions of people, the European Commission launched the new HealthyLifeStyle4All campaign promoting a healthy lifestyle across generations and social groups. On behalf of EFDN, CEO Hubert Rovers attended this opening event this year organised in Bled, Slovenia,

For six years, the European Week of Sport has helped tackle the inactivity crisis by encouraging Europeans to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle. Launched in 2015, the European Week of Sport was created in response to the worsening inactivity crisis. Despite sport and physical activity substantially contributing to the well-being of European citizens, the level of physical activity is currently stagnating and even declining in some countries.
