The European Week of Sport is an initiative by the European Commission promoting sport and physical activity across Europe under the slogan "Be Active."
This year, the European Week of Sport coincides with the Student Life Festival.

The European Week of Sport is for everyone, regardless of age, social background, or fitness level. We must stay active regularly—indoors and outdoors—throughout the year to improve our physical and mental health and support social inclusion.
Launched in 2015, the European Week of Sport was created in response to the growing crisis of inactivity. Although sport and physical activity contribute significantly to the well-being of European citizens, physical activity levels are currently stagnating and even declining in some countries.
Initiatives like the European Week of Sport raise awareness of how important an active lifestyle is for everyone, no matter who we are or what we do.
Even a small increase in regular physical activity can have a profound impact on our long-term health.
The Week aims to give people across the world a springboard to get moving.
