What is it?
The European School Sport Day (ESSD) on Friday 27th September 2024 is a school day dedicated to having fun, playing together and promoting physical activity and health for everyone.
Who is it for?
Primary & Secondary pupils across Europe.
Why do it?
Plenty of research shows that #Being active makes students healthier and better learners in the classroom. School spirit improves too with fun and inclusive team sports. Does your school have a sports day? Let’s organise one!
It is a celebration which provides the opportunity for schools to:
- Raise the profile of physical education (PE) and school sport
- Create fun and enjoyment through physical activity initiatives for young people
- Promote health and wellbeing for lifelong learning
- Foster social inclusion and develop social competences among their students.
