1st ISF European Meeting Yves Le Lostecque

In response to the initiative of the ISF European President, 28 ISF members Head of the Sport policy and programme Unit European Commission – DG EAC representing 19 European countries gathered in January in Ayia Napa, Cyprus for the first ISF European Meeting. After a successful first edition in 2015 launched by the European Commission, the 2016 European Week of Sport (EWoS) will be organised to continue promoting participation in sport and physical activity. The EWoS aims at highlighting the benefits of sports, regardless of age, background or fitness level. It encourages every initiative that will enhance more sport opportunities for European citizens (main elements of the 2016 EWoS).
