Welcome to our course “Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) & HealthyLifestyle4All” – a learning resource for physical activity promoters to make the transition to a healthier lifestyle become more achievable for their participants.
Since 1995, 
has been acting to empower physical activity stakeholders to get more people active and healthy. ‘s work is therefore closely aligned with the broader health promotion and disease prevention agenda.
We believe sport and physical activity can contribute to the EU’s vision of a #HealthyLifestyle4All. Indeed, ensuring people’s right to move through physical activity will have a positive influence on their well-being and social welfare, and this is what motivates us at ISCA. We have seen plenty of evidence, recommendations and policies, so we are here to “walk the walk” and engage with other sectors to collaborate and encourage them to recognise the contribution of grassroots sport and recreational physical activity to citizens’ health and wellbeing. In short, we are doing our part to make healthier lifestyle choices possible for all Europeans.
The purpose of this course is to help you in your key role as a MOVE Agent – a community-based agent of physical activity promotion – to take a leadership role in meeting citizens where they are and helping them to adopt a healthy lifestyle through your health-enhancing physical activities.
