European Week of Sport 2023 is about to start – Join us!

Europeans are united this week under the slogan #BeActive

The European Week of Sport is held from the 23rd to the 30th of September 2023, in over 30 European countries. The aim of this week is to promote sport and general physical activity throughout Europe, thereby combating increased physical inactivity among the general public. The Sports Week is intended for everyone regardless of age, background or physical condition. The emphasis is on appealing to and encouraging the public to move more in their daily lives.

Encouragement for individuals, sports clubs and organisations

Heilsubærinn Hafnarfjörður (The health town) encourages all sports clubs in Hafnarfjörður, associations and individuals to take an active part in the week by organizing open activities and open houses or other events that can be directly and indirectly linked to physical and mental health and exercise. The diversity of movements comes from the active participation of the masses. Information about open houses, activities and all that Hafnarfjarðarbær staff hear about is posted on the town’s website.

Information about open houses, open practices, presentations, teaching, lectures or other activities during the week can be sent to the e-mail address: geir@hafnarfjordur.is
