EVENT CALENDAR
Within the scope of the European Week of Sports events, it is aimed for approximately 4.5 million people, regardless of age, gender and ethnicity, and with the multiplier effect, the entire population of our country, 85 million, to be a part of this project with sports and physical activity.
In the forthcoming 2024 editions of the European Week of Sport, a renewed focus will be placed on "Promoting European Values and Convergence with Olympic Values." This emphasis will underscore the shared principles of respect, excellence, and friendship inherent in both European and Olympic traditions. Concurrently, the event will be orchestrated in a manner that is "Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable," ensuring that all promotional materials are circulated in a manner that is limited, proportionate, and environmentally conscious.
The primary target audience of our project has been determined as 7 cities with high tourism and population density in Türkiye (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, Rize, Malatya and Eruzum).
