MOVE Week 2015 and European Week of Sport (EWOS)

What is the relation of MOVE Week and EWOS?

The NowWeMOVE campaign and its flagship event MOVE Week have been developed and rolled out in since 2012 parallel to the ongoing deliberations in the EU on the European Week of Sport (EWOS). ISCA has systematically given its input to these deliberations, and have contributed its experience from MOVE Week in this regard. On the Launch Conference on 11 June 2014, Commissioner Vassiliou presented the first concepts for the European Week of Sport, following consultations with ISCA and other stakeholders, and ISCA presented the MOVE Week as a very tangible and well-tested concept that should link directly to the European Week of Sport. 

For the sake of collaboration, we have decided to open the dates of MOVE Week. So in 2015 it will be the National Coordinators who will choose the exact dates of MOVE Week in their countries. Official dates of EWOS are 07.09 – 13.09.2015 for European scale events and 07.09 to 30.09.2015 for national events. In this line of thoughts each National Coordinator could choose one week between the official EWOS dates 07.09 – 30.09.2015

European Week of Sport will be implemented for the first time in 2015. Having a fully developed concept and implementation vehicle, based on the earlier editions of MOVE Week, ISCA believes that can dramatically increase the impact and reach of the first edition of the European Week of Sport.
