The Region on the Move: Let's Join European Sports Week Together in September!

We already have more than 140 events listed in our calendar for September, but we’re not stopping there! The Veszprém-Balaton European Region of Sport 2026 is proud to join the #BeActive European Week of Sport program. We call on and encourage all our partners, associations, and local governments to showcase the strength of our region both nationally and internationally. The series of events actually spans the entire month of September. This is a tremendous opportunity, as the uploaded programs will be included in both the Hungarian and international event calendars. 

Since this series of events will receive special attention and extensive media coverage, please pay close attention to the details when uploading the program:

• Relevant Information: in addition to the exact address, location, and time, include a short, engaging description.
• Use the official templates: special branding elements have been created for the promotion. Download and use the Canva Poster template or the Social Media template.
• Facebook Events: if you create your own event, the description must include #BeActive, #SportsStrategy and #MovingTogether hashtags in the description. Don’t forget to tag the „European Sports Week” és a “Veszprém-Balaton European Region of Sport 2026” pages!
