EUROPEAN WEEK OF SPORT
Eurpean sports week is an important prjoect which is traditionally held every year mainly aimed at bringing together people from every walk of life, at any age and raising awareness about being active.
It has been concluded that this important event will be supported by European Parliament despite the fact that Turkey is not yet a member of EU due to the fact that HIS Turkish Sports for All Federation has been granted the authority to coordinate European Sports Week events by The Ministry of Youth and Sports as a result of previous successful projects (Let’s Walk Together, HisApp, HIS Festivals and Sports for All Daily events) together with approval by European Parliament.
HIS Federation has been granted authority to coordinate the whole set of events under the scope of European Sports Week by Turkish Ministry of Youth and Sports and European Delegation.
The main objective of the project within the scope of European Sports Week is to encourage approximately 4.5 million people to participate in these events regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, and while doing so, to make all 83 million people living in our country feel that they are a part of this project when the multiplier effect of 4.5 million participants is taken into account. While the general objective of this project is all 81 provinces of our country, the most important target audience is the 7 provinces with the highest population and tourism potential (Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya, Erzurum, Malatya, Rize). During European Sports Week (September 23-30), 115 different National Sports and Health Day events will be organized in the 7 major provinces mentioned above, and various events aimed at raising awareness about sports and healthy living will be organized in our 81 provinces in cooperation with our project partners.
