NowWeMOVE
NowWeMOVE is a world-wide campaign to promote sport and physical activity and tackle the physical inactivity epidemic.
NowWeMOVE
ISCA launched the NowWeMOVE campaign in 2012, with the aim of bringing the sport for all sector and a variety of other sectors together to tackle the physical inactivity epidemic world-wide. The campaign’s overall objectives are to raise awareness of the benefits of sport and physical activity among all citizens; promote opportunities to be active in sport and physical activity; and enable sustainable and innovative capacity building for providers of physical activity initiatives through open-source solutions and advocacy.
Our Approach
We believe that change starts at the grassroots level. That is why we developed the campaign from the bottom-up, relying on people who love to move and who want to share that joy with others. They are from sports organisations, from hospitals, from companies, from municipalities, from schools – even from prisons! We named them MOVE Agents and created MOVE Week as NowWeMOVE's flagship event.
MOVE Agents are the stars of MOVE Week. They make MOVE Week happen. A MOVE Agent can be a grassroots sport organisation, club, school, university, voluntary group, company, municipality/city or individual who organises a sport and physical activity event for MOVE Week.
MOVE Week is an annual event and an integral part of the NowWeMOVE campaign. MOVE Week takes place in the last week of May each year. The objective of MOVE Week is to promote the benefits of being active and participating regularly in sport and physical activity.
The NowWeMOVE campaign isn’t just about MOVE Week. We are constantly building new initiatives like: No Elevators Day, Open Streets Day, NowWeBIKE, MOVEment Pills ... and more. Learn more about all NowWeMOVE initiatives bellow.
