#BeActive – European Week of Sport

#BeActive, Stay Healthy, Keep Distance!

Activity is health! Regular movement boosts our mental and physical wellbeing and helps us handle stress and stay motivated.  That’s the main message of the European Week of Sport, and its especially true in these COVID-19 times! 

This is the third year that Georgia is part of this international initiative, and in spite of the COVID-19 restrictions, so far there have been over 80 events and 35 000 engaged local citizens! That’s a success!

To continue this positive trend, together with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia and all the recognized Sports organizations, the EU is launching a #BeActive online campaign!  Join us to get the positive message out!

Starting today till November 13, 2020, join the online #BeActive challenge and become a role model for your friends.

HOW?

• Follow us on EU in Georgia Instagram (@euingeorgia)

• Tag Instagram page of the European Union to Georgia (@euingeorgia)

To help with motivation, every Friday, during the campaign, the first 50 users submitted their photo/video materials will be awarded small branded prizes
