European Week of Sport 2025
This year, together with ENGSO, we decided to link the event to the European Commission's European Week of Sport and #BEACTIVE campaign.
The European Week of Sport is an annual initiative launched by the European Commission in 2015 to promote sport and physical activity across Europe. Over the past decade, it has inspired millions of people to discover the benefits of being active—not only for physical health, but also for mental well-being, social inclusion, and community building.
In 2025, the campaign celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking ten years of energy, motivation, and momentum under the shared motto: #BeActive – Then. Now. Always. This year’s focus goes beyond movement, encouraging healthier digital habits and inviting everyone—children, teenagers, adults, and seniors—to move more and scroll less. From a walk with friends to a team game, or even a dance challenge, every small step counts.
BarcelonaDanceXperience and #BeActive
In this spirit, the BarcelonaDanceXperience perfectly reflects the values of the European Week of Sport. Held in Lloret de Mar, just a few kilometers from Barcelona, this international dance event brings together dancers from over 20 countries for four days of competitions, workshops, performances, and shared experiences.
Dance is movement, creativity, and connection. It embodies the idea of being active while also promoting cultural exchange and inclusion. By encouraging participants of all ages and backgrounds to take part, the BarcelonaDanceXperience demonstrates how art and sport come together to inspire healthier and more connected communities.
As Europe celebrates 10 years of the European Week of Sport, BarcelonaDanceXperience stands as a dynamic showcase of how physical activity can be joyful, artistic, and unifying. Together we move, we dance, we #BeActive.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European Week of Sport and the unique spirit of the BarcelonaDanceXperience, we are launching a special challenge to get everyone moving, sharing, and inspiring others to #BeActive!
