Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: EuropeActive actively works to protect and promote the health and fitness sector by participating in a range of different working and expert groups organised by European Institutions such as the Commission or the Parliament, and by the World Health Organisation. In addition to the regular attendance at the EU Sport Forum, EuropeActive and its representatives have been a member of (most recently): pledger and supporter of the #HealthyLifestyles4All initiative, the Expert Group on Green Sport, the Expert Group on Covid-19 Sport Recovery, the Task Force on harmonised sport statistics in the EU (TF SPORT), SHARE Lab and now SHARE 2.0. Since its inauguration in 2014, EuropeActive has been an official partner of the Commission’s European Week of Sport. To further its vision and mission to enable and promote healthy and active lifestyles for all, EuropeActive became a member of All Policies for Healthy Europe Coalition in 2021, and in 2022 launched the European Physical Activity Alliance (EPAA). Since 2020, EuropeActive has been part of WHO’s dialogue with the sport and physical activity related industry associations on the implementation of the GAPPA. Additionally, the EU Affairs Team participates in events organised by relevant associations, institutions, and civil society organisations in the key policy areas of interest to the fitness sector and its members. To help inform its members and stakeholders, the Team have developed a series of position and information papers on said policy areas (Health Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) and physical activity as a public health tool; Education, Training and Skills Development, and standards; Anti-Doping; social dialogue and the position of the European Union and Sport/ EU Work Plan for Sport/ European Week of Sport). All conferences, events and activities attended by the EU Affairs team are shared with members and stakeholders, through various online publications.
Communication Activities: EuropeActive is pleased to operate, and to be a partner of, a number of different European projects and programmes. They both support furthering the capacity of the fitness sector and, provide better understanding of our sector’s stakeholders, for EU institutions, national governments, and their agencies. Ultimately, they all contribute to EuropeActive’s mission of getting "more people, more active, more often". The current and most recent projects and programmes that EuropeActive is leading, or been involved with include: - #BEACTIVE DAY 2024 - Healthy Lifestyles for Europe (HL4EU) - Green Audit - European Week of Clean Sport (partner) Previous projects: - Anti-Doping: FAIR+, FAIR, Anti-Doping in Football (partner), Fitness Against Doping, Study on Doping Prevention - Health-Enhancing Physical Activity: Active Ageing Communities; HEPA all schools project (partner); EUMove (partner); Let's #BEACTIVE; National Fitness Days for Europe; ALCIS & ALCIS 2; PAHA - Standards and qualifications: BLUEPRINT for Skills Cooperation and Employment in Active Leisure; SIQAF - The Relevance of the Active Leisure sector & International Qualifications Framework to the EQF Project; EA Fitness (accreditation); Social Dialogue in Sport and Fitness (IMPACT) EuropeActive supports its members and stakeholders by offering a range of key industry events. We strongly believe in the power of learning, networking and the sharing of good practices to help stimulate better business and entrepreneurship. At present, EuropeActive organises the following sector-specific events annually: - European Health and Fitness Forum (EHFF) since 2014 the EHFF opens FIBO’s annual International Trade Show, the world’s largest sector gathering, and offers a conference addressing the sector’s most pressing and relevant topics. This event also publishes the yearly European Health and Fitness Market Report. - Active Leadership Forum (ALF), the annual meeting of Europe’s leading fitness executives that is held in different European locations -International Standards Meeting (ISM), the leading annual event for all involved in standards-setting and the delivery of fitness and physical activity qualifications and certifications -European Fitness Associations Forum (EFAF), unite National Association members several times a year to share and discuss key topics and good practices, including two in-person meetings. Beyond the sector, EuropeActive currently has two flagship initiatives: - the annual #BEACTIVE DAY campaign, launched in 2021 as the sector’s contribution to the European Week of Sport. Since 2015 EuropeActive is also one of the partners of the European Week of Sport, contributing to spread the Week’s #BeActive message and supporting its objectives, and has gone a step further with the highly successful #BEACTIVE DAY campaign. - Exercise for Health Summit (EfHS), first held in November 2023 in Madrid, the event seeks to bridge the gap between the fitness and physical activity sector and the wider health sector, in sight of effectively ensuring the former to be an essential part of future societal health.
