The European Week of Sport #BeActive takes place annually between 23 and 30 September, and during its 10th edition, which took place in 2024, all residents and guests of Sofia had the opportunity to be part of the biggest sports celebration in Europe. The European Week of Sport is an initiative of the European Commission that has been taking place in September across Europe since 2015. The week, which takes the form of an awareness-raising campaign, promotes the many benefits of sport and physical activity and is open to all, regardless of age, background or physical condition.

Bulgarian sports development association has traditionally actively participated in the campaign with information stands during the #BeActive Sports Village and #BeActveNight in front of the National Palace of Culture on the 28th of September.

During the EWoS events, BSDA presented its current initiatives, which are co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme: +, including #BeInclusiveWaterPolo – an initiative that aims to serve as an innovative addition to the world of inclusive sports for people with intellectual disabilities and launch adapted water polo in Bulgaria.

Many volunteers from the “Vasil Levski” National Sports Academy took an active part in the organization of these events. The national coordinator of the European Week of Sport for Bulgaria is the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the campaign is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
