The European Week of Winter Sport (EWWS) project is a comprehensive initiative dedicated to celebrating the thrill of winter sports while advancing sustainability practices across Europe. By uniting diverse stakeholders, including sports organizations, universities, and local authorities, the project creates a dynamic platform to showcase the excitement and benefits of engaging in winter activities. Through collaborative efforts, the project aims to inspire participation in skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports, fostering a sense of adventure among athletes and enthusiasts alike.
The priority that the project addresses the most is “Encouraging healthy lifestyles for all” with a focus on promoting physical activity and sport as a tool for health.
This is evident from the project’s objectives, which include promoting physical activity in winter, making winter sports more accessible and inclusive, and raising awareness about climate change and sustainability through winter sports.
Ultimately, the European Week of Winter Sport is about creating a lasting legacy of environmental stewardship, inspiring communities to embrace shared responsibility for preserving the natural beauty of winter sports destinations. Together, we aim to ensure that future generations can enjoy the thrill of winter sports in harmony with nature, building a sustainable future where health, inclusivity, and environmental consciousness go hand in hand.
The European Week of Winter Sport project embodies a collaborative approach between the European Commission and Erasmus+ partners, fostering synergies across education, training, youth, and sports. By uniting diverse stakeholders, including sports organizations, educational institutions, and local governments, we aim to promote healthy lifestyles and inclusivity in winter sports while addressing climate change.
This collaboration allows us to leverage shared resources and expertise, enhancing our collective impact. Our common goal is to create sustainable winter sports events that engage communities, promote equality, and contribute to the EU’s priorities of health, sustainability, and active citizenship. Together, we strive to foster a culture of well-being and environmental responsibility throughout Europe.
At the heart of the European Week of Winter Sport project lies a strong commitment to promoting eco-friendly practices, ensuring that the joy of winter sports is experienced responsibly and sustainably. This initiative brings together sports organizations, educational institutions, local governments, and community members to foster a culture of active living while addressing environmental challenges.
By utilizing innovative digital tools and inclusive methodologies, the project empowers sports clubs and individuals to advocate for sustainability within their communities.
