EUAPPTIVE - The European Active Ageing Challenge

EUAPPTIVE is an initiative that aims to engage older adults across Europe in physical activity through an innovative, inclusive, and impactful approach. EUAPPTIVE is developing a multi-day, multi-location challenge with a variety of engaging activities — e.g. walking, yoga/taichi, gardening, and intergenerational events —that will appeal to a broad range of participants. This challenge will take place across multiple locations, allowing older adults to explore their communities while engaging in physical activity. The project brings together a consortium, including Sport Innovation Hub, CuicuiStudios, ACES Europe, EUNIK, the University of Southern Denmark, and the municipality of Vila Nova de Poiares(Portugal), with additional support from the municipalities of Odense and Ayuntamientode Carreño(Spain).
