The International Sport and Culture
Association (ISCA) is pleased to announce its award of a €1 million
grant from the European Union budget.
The grant is to be used for the 2013 edition of MOVE Week
(7 to 13 October), an annual Europe-wide event and integral part of the
NowWeMove (2012-2020) Campaign. The objective of MOVE Week is to
promote the benefits of being active and participating regularly in
sport and physical activity. A wide range of promoters of physical
activity will include existing and create new physical activities for
the MOVE Week 2013. We call them MOVE Agents.
They include, for example, individuals, non-governmental organisations,
schools, companies and municipalities from all European countries.
The
NowWeMove Campaign is in 2013 coordinated by International Sport and
Culture Association (ISCA) in collaboration with European Cyclists’
Federation (ECF).
From Mogens Kirkeby,
ISCA President: ”With the MOVE Week 2013 we will connect and include
citizens from South, North, East and West in this European event.
Together with MOVE Agents across Europe we want to illustrate the
variety of local initiatives celebrating active lifestyle, sport and
physical activity. We invite cities, organisations, companies, and
individuals to join as MOVE Agents and contribute by moving people.”
From MEP Morten Løkkegaard,
budget reporter for the Culture and Education Committee of the European
Parliament, who has been instrumental in securing support for MOVE Week
2013: “MOVE Week is an important European initiative to promote the
benefits of being physically active, and it is a primary concern of the
European Union to encourage European citizens to lead healthy
lifestyles. I am proud that the European Parliament via the EU budget
for 2013 will support this initiative and look forward to MOVE Week
2013!”
From Kevin Mayne,
Development Director for ECF: “European Cyclists’ Federation is proud
to be a partner in the MOVE Week 2013 and the broader NowWeMove
campaign. We completely agree with the vision of increased cross-sector
collaboration to promote physical activity and we are happy to
contribute to the success of the MOVE Week 2013.”
