The EU Commission is presenting HealthyLifestyle4All initiative
Following the Tartu Call for a Healthy Lifestyle, HL4A is a two-year campaign which showcases the EU Commission’s commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle across generations and social groups.
Intergenerational sport is unmistakably a vital instrument to foster active ageing, social inclusion and community cohesion. Not only that, it can also help us all maintain a healthy lifestyle, which is the core goal of the European Commission’s HealthyLifestyle4All initiative. Kicking off during the opening of the European Week of Sport in Bled (Slovenia) next 23rd September, this initiative aims to promote healthy lifestyles throughout Europe at a time when obesity and inactivity are on the rise.
Healthy Lifestyle 4 All
Following the Tartu Call for a Healthy Lifestyle, HL4A is a two-year campaign which showcases the EU Commission’s commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle across generations and social groups. It is driven by the knowledge that everyone can benefit from activities that improve health and well-being.
To increase uptake, share ownership and broaden its outreach, the European Commission is inviting co-creators to help design the HL4A initiative. Representatives of sport organisations, civil society, international, national, regional and local authorities, are invited to join in the co-creation of the initiative to promote healthy lifestyles amongst generations and across social groups.
There are three pillars to the HealthyLifestyle4All initiative:
- awareness – improved awareness of healthy lifestyles across all generations
- access – easier access to sport, physical activity and healthy diets. HL4A has a special focus on inclusion and non-discrimination to reach disadvantaged groups.
- holistic approach – HL4A is about teaming up in an holistic approach to food, health, well-being and sport.
