**Get Ready to #BeActive for European Week of Sport 2024 in Mayo!**
*Mayo Sports Partnership Calls on You to Get Moving from 23rd to 30th September*
Mayo Sports Partnership is excited to invite everyone in Mayo to join in the celebration of European Week of Sport 2024. Running from the 23rd to the 30th of September, this week is part of a continent-wide initiative aimed at encouraging people to #BeActive and incorporate more physical activity into their daily lives.
With a strong focus on grassroots initiatives, the goal of European Week of Sport is to inspire all Europeans, no matter their age, ability, or background, to embrace sport and physical activity. Whether it's for fitness, fun, or friendship, the message is clear: sport is for everyone.
In 2024, European Week of Sport will focus on inclusion, well-being, and belonging.
Inclusion. Sport is not just for athletes. You can take part regardless of your fitness level or background. Sport is inclusive and does not discriminate. No matter our gender, age, abilities, religion, ethnicity, education, or sexual orientation: sport is for everyone!
Well-being. Sport boosts self-esteem and promotes better health. Physical activity helps personal improvement and enhances overall well-being. When you play sport, you look good and feel good!
Belonging. Sport offers life opportunities and brings generations together. Everyone maintains their individuality while also sharing the EU and Olympic values of kindness, respect, and solidarity.
Mayo Sports Partnership has unveiled an exciting Autumn Calendar of Events in the lead-up to the week, including swimming classes, kayaking, walking football, rugby come-and-try sessions, walks celebrating National Walking Day and a wide range of inclusive activities catering to all abilities. These initiatives are designed to offer something for everyone, regardless of experience or fitness level.
Commenting on the upcoming week, Charlie Lambert, Head of Mayo Sports Partnership, said: "European Week of Sport is a brilliant opportunity to shine a spotlight on the physical activity options available to people in our community. Whether you're an individual, a club, or an organisation, we encourage you to get involved and be part of something bigger. Let’s show the rest of Europe how active Mayo can be!"
