EWOS Slovakia 2022-23

ended

"We plan to organize two EWoS events in two mutually distanced locations in Slovakia in both 2022 and 2023. To keep the tradition of the past years, we will organize #BeActive Night in Bratislava. The second event, proven to be a great addition last year, will take place in Strbske pleso, the eastern part of Slovakia, which is the region of the High Tatras mountains. With addition of this location the reach of the #BeActive message is even further. Given the unstable weather situation in the mountain area and unpredictable pandemic restrictions we have decided to hold the event in Strbske pleso during the first weekend of september 2022 and then september 2023, to be followed by the #BeActive Night in Bratislava on 24.9.2022 and then on 23.9.2023. The main objective of both events will be to promote excercise, sport and healthy lifestyle to the general public at all levels of our society. The events aim to encourage people to participate in sport and physical activity more actively. Both events will be organised using the sport-vilage-set-up in cooperation with the local municipality. We will invite the relevant local partners in both places along with national partners to take part in the events. Our aim is to create a platform for them to present their respective sports. This may bring diversity in terms of the sports activities to be promoted. Both events will offer a number of various outdoor activities. We will select disciplines that require minimum skills on the part of the participants in terms of their previous experience, age or physical abilities. Activities will take place in a public area with good public accesibility and visibility with the entree free of charge. The visitors may come along with their family and friends and take part in sport competitions and sport activities or accompanying programme of the event. The events will be supported by high level representatives of the Ministry of Education, Slovak Athletic Federation, Special Olympics,etc"
