European Week of Sport
23 September – 30 September

Key Details & Focus Areas
- The Movement: The week-long campaign encourages everyone—from schools to workplaces and parks—to ditch screen time for physical movement.
- National Participation: You can easily join locally. In Ireland, the campaign is heavily supported by organizations like Sport Ireland and Age & Opportunity, which coordinate various grassroots activities.
- Get Involved: Whether you want to try a new sport, take a family walk, or attend organized fitness events in your area, you can find activities and register your own events on the European Commission Official Website.
