Moving Towards the Future
#movingtowardsthefuture
The aim of the sports project is to motivate people to move through a sporting challenge in a minimalist or maximalist variant.
- The minimalist variant includes the sports challenge, which will be announced in all territories in September 2022. Participants will collect steps / kilometers for 1 month using a mobile application. When finished, the steps / kilometers in each country will be added up and we will see which country is approaching the future the fastest.
- The maximalist variant consists in arranging a specific sports happening (running, cycling race, etc.). In the territories, there is a connection with existing sports activities.
In selected territories, sports competitions will be accompanied by an exhibition or other accompanying programmes (lectures, workshops, movie screenings, etc.).
