Description
The #BeActive awards were a central part of the annual European Week of Sport. They aim to support projects and individuals who have successfully promoted sport and physical activity across Europe. The competition contributes to the promotion of European Sports Week by showcasing best practice projects and highlighting inspiring individuals to a pan-European audience.
Since 2015, the #BeActive Awards have recognised and celebrated outstanding initiatives at all levels - especially at the local level - to promote sport and physical activity and encourage people to be active. The 2024 #BeActive Awards will include the following four categories:
BeActive Education Award: this award shows how education can encourage children to be active outside of the typical sport or physical activities at school. This can include additional activities, sports days outside the classroom, after-school activities and other creative solutions that build an active educational environment.
#BeActive workplace award: this award celebrates exemplary workplace activities that encourage employees to be more active. This can include all kinds of initiatives that take place during working hours, at lunchtime, before or after work, and that promote an active working environment.
#BeActive Local Hero Award: this award recognises individual achievements in motivating others to be active. The award recognises individuals who have worked consistently to promote sport and/or physical activity in their local community or environment.
#BeActive across Generations Award: this award recognises projects that promote intergenerational sport and emphasises that everyone can benefit from activities that improve health and well-being. This can include the promotion of activities adapted to all generations, the promotion of healthy lifestyles across generations, and easier access to sport and physical activities for all generations.
The winner and finalists (ranked 2nd and 3rd) in each category will receive prizes to inspire other organisations and individuals across Europe. They will all be announced and presented at the award ceremony where they will receive their prizes.
