For the 4th year in a row, ISCA is playing a significant role in the European Week of Sport as both a flagship event organiser, with Bike for Europe, and the National Coordinating Body for Denmark. This year, the EU once again selected a NowWeMOVE campaign initiative, NowWeBike Bike for Europe, to promote the #BeActive message in the lead-up to and at the opening ceremony of the European Week of Sport.

The Week officially starts on Sunday 23 September and runs until 30 September, but the two Bike for Europe teams who started their journeys on 1 September will kick off the opening ceremony on Saturday 22 September in Vienna, Austria, which is also hosting the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

As it is in ISCA’s DNA to promote physical activity and opportunities to be active, it won’t be hard to spot our team during the European Week of Sport, especially if you are in Denmark, Vienna, Prague or Barcelona.
