BORDEAUX:
The city center, only accessible by tramway and bicycles, facilitates travel from one district to another with, always as a common thread, the Garonne river. Each neighborhood has its own atmosphere!

To the north, the Chartrons, a former stronghold of wine merchants, has become that of second-hand dealers, antique dealers, good restaurants and small independent shops. Then, here is the vast Place des Quinconces. Behind its plane trees, the Grands Hommes district is a tribute to our thinkers, from Montaigne to Diderot: it is also called the “triangle” for its luxury stores, its mansions and the majestic Grand Théâtre, a masterpiece balance signed Victor Louis.

WAC Award Ceremony - 25th October

For the first time in Brussels, WAC certified companies

It’s official! The 13  first companies were proud to announce that they have passed the “Workplace Active Certification” (WAC) process and audit.

Corinth Canal, Designous, Generali Zavarovalnica D.D, Harmonie Mutuelle, Sport UNion of Slovenia, Ixelles, Mater Dei Hospital, Roullier, SIJ, SKB, Sportcamp, Tourix and Veolia Europe have been awarded the WAC certificate!

 

The Workplace Active Certification (WAC) is a European project led by the European Federation for Company Sport (EFCS). The project was collaboration and support by 9 international partners. Co- funded by the European Commission Erasmus + Programme , the WAC certification is aimed at European organizations – whatever their size - which actively promote health and well-being at work through physical activity.And which wish to have their initiatives and best practices recognized by a panel of experts.

To become WAC certified, we underwent a thorough evaluation process that included the completion of a questionnaire. An evaluation criteria list and a full assessment review by the WAC evaluation experts and audit team.

 

Throughout the evaluation process, they have developed and implemented a workout plan which has enabled them to improve not only their physical activity performance. But their overall productivity and to maintain a high level of quality in everything they do.

 

Their decision to work towards the WAC certificate not only demonstrates that physical activity is a priority for them. But also their commitment to investing in their employees’ life balance and health. Moreover, it is proven that a more active life in the workplace can lead to a 7% rise in productivity and 27% decrease in sick leave.

Sports Club for Health 2020-22 project: progress update

The project Creating Mechanisms for Continuous Implementation of the Sports Club for Health Guidelines in the European Union is funded by a European Union Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnerships grant of 398.845 Euro, and it includes 17 partner institutions from 13 countries. The overarching aim of the project is to increase participation in sport and physical activity in the European Union by encouraging sports clubs and associations to implement Sport Clubs for Health principles in their activities.

The international project team has developed an interactive online course with practical recommendations that may help you improve the availability and quality of health-enhancing sports activities within your sports club, sports association, or community. The course is free of charge and available in 25 languages. Since its launch nine months ago, the course was attended by nearly 2000 participants from across Europe.

 

Practical recommendations for adopting and using the Sports Club for Health approach have recently been summarised in a textbook. Last November, the project team also organised a symposium for sports clubs and associations that was attended by 116 participants.

 

Currently under development are: (1) Sports Club for Health Country Cards, with data on the current state of health-enhancing sports promotion in 36 European countries; (2) a database of European Sports Club for Health initiatives; and (3) a new symposium. Watch this space…
