On September 3, 2025, in Sofia, Bulgarian sports development association (BSDA) presented the upcoming edition of the European Week of Winter Sport (EWoWS). The event brought together 16 sports specialists, who received information about the campaign and how they can get involved. “European Week of Winter Sport” is an initiative co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, with the aim of encouraging participation in sport and physical activity, while also raising awareness about climate change and promoting sustainability through the creation of a European Week of Winter Sport.
Following the success of the pilot edition of the European Week of Winter Sport in 2025, the campaign will take place again next year, from February 1–8, 2026, in Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, Slovenia, and Spain.

The program of the event included:
• Presentation of the project’s promotional video;
• Screening of the video from the 2025 edition of EWoWS in Bulgaria;
• Discussion of opportunities for organizing sports events, including adapted events for people with special needs;
• Presentation of the already open registration for event organizers for the 2026 edition.

EWoWS 2026 will bring together sports clubs, municipalities, and local organizations across Europe, which through their events will inspire thousands of people to be active and to engage with the topic of sustainable development.
