What happens when Europe comes together around winter sport? After years of collaboration, participation and shared experiences, the European Week of Winter Sport (EWWS) is preparing to celebrate its journey and look ahead to the future.
Over the past years, the European Week of Winter Sport has brought together organizations, local stakeholders and communities from across Europe to promote winter sports and outdoor physical activity as powerful tools for encouraging healthier, more inclusive and sustainable societies.
EWWS has highlighted the importance of making winter sports more accessible to everyone, increasing participation in physical activity, raising awareness of environmental sustainability and strengthening cooperation among European organizations. Now, this European journey is coming to Milan, Italy, where the project will host its Final Conference on 3 December 2026, as part of EUSport LAB 2026.
The Final Conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on the project’s journey, explore its achievements and share the key lessons learned throughout its implementation. But this event is about more than looking back. It will also focus on an important question: What can continue beyond the project?
Key themes at the heart of the European Week of Winter Sport will remain central to these discussions:
- Promoting participation in winter sports: Encouraging more people to discover and enjoy winter sports and outdoor physical activity.
- Encouraging inclusion and accessibility: Creating opportunities for people of different ages, backgrounds and abilities to participate.
- Raising awareness of sustainability: Highlighting the relationship between sport, environmental responsibility and climate awareness.
- Building European cooperation: Strengthening connections between organizations and communities to support lasting collaboration.
The EWWS Final Conference will be a moment to celebrate what has been achieved, exchange experiences and explore opportunities to carry the project’s legacy forward.
Save the date and join us in Milan as we celebrate the European Week of Winter Sport and look towards a more active, inclusive and sustainable future!
