BeActiveTogether

On the 16th of December 2024, the annual edition of the Sport Info Days took place at the European Commission building in Brussels, providing detailed information on the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ sport strand to promote sport and physical activity at local, regional and national level. The event brought together 500 sports experts and was opened by Glenn Micallef, European Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport: "Sport is a pillar of inclusion in our societies and democracies, driving positive change for the better.

The #BeActiveTogether project is firmly grounded in the urgent need to combat discrimination and social exclusion experienced by individuals with intellectual disabilities. It recognizes that sports can be a transformative force, as demonstrated by the project's plan to provide international sports opportunities for these underserved communities, including those living in institutions. By offering them the chance to participate in national and international actions, such as the planned #BeActiveTogether sport events, the project directly translates the EU's commitment to freedom of movement into a tangible experience for participants.
