Time to get #Activated

The theme of the MOVE Congress 2025 is #Activating. What are the best strategies to #activate people and communities and promote participation? What are the most inspiring practices of grassroots sports associations, urban planners, municipalities, local communities and other stakeholders? And how can people be best-motivated to engage with their local communities and sport organisations as volunteers?

#Activating People

Regardless of age, gender, or social status, everyone has the potential—and the right—to improve their health and wellbeing through physical activity. The MOVE Congress 2025 will explore innovative methods to inspire and promote physical activity, offering the knowledge and tools to help everyone become more active.

#Activating Participation

For many, group activities are key to enjoying an active lifestyle. However, barriers like social skills, physical limitations, and digital distractions must be overcome. The MOVE Congress 2025 will highlight the best ways to create engagement, encourage volunteering and connect people to local community organisations and most importantly, to one another.

#Activating Communities

When communities get active, the impact can be remarkable! Strong community bonds foster social inclusion and civic engagement. The MOVE Congress 2025 will showcase the best practices for supporting grassroots sport organisations, transforming public space and sporting facilities, and activating local communities.

It’s time for us to step up and share the best ways to get others moving!
