Healthy Lifestyles for Europe (HL4EU) is an Erasmus+ funded project that aims to explore and promote cross-sectoral approaches to healthy lifestyles through physical activity. A consortium of leading NGOs and sector representative bodies we are united to collaborate on active and healthy lifestyle promotion and access across policies and sectors.
Join us to help catalyse action towards cross-sectoral approaches to healthy lifestyles!
Project Overview
The Healthy Lifestyles for Europe project (HL4EU) will foster a
cross-sectoral approach to healthy lifestyles promotion among a variety
of stakeholders, in line with the European Commission and WHO’s vision
and existing policy initiatives, and in sight of tackling the increasing
burden of NCDs and of reducing health inequalities across Europe. The
consortium consists of leading national and European representative
organisations from different sectors, including, fitness, physical
activity, outdoors, health (doctors, patients, and carers) and mobility.
During the project’s 30-month duration, the project partners will raise awareness on the importance of cross-sectoral healthy lifestyle promotion, facilitate cross-sectoral collaboration through the development of a dedicated stakeholder platform, identify and share good practices of cross-sectoral collaboration, and provide input for future policy developments on the topic through a set of policy recommendations. Through these actions, HL4EU will strengthen the sustainability and legacy of the European Commission’s ‘HealthyLifestyles4All’ campaign and provide support to future European policy initiatives in this direction.
A variety of actions will be developed to reach the project’s
objectives, including the publication of a Call to Action, the
identification of good practices through both desk research and active
outreach, the development of a stakeholder platform listing good
practices, focus group sessions to capture practice-based feedback that
will contribute to the policy recommendations, as well as a community
building conference and a final conference. The HL4EU project aims to be
the start of a structural collaboration between consortium partners and
to bring the different sectoral networks closer together to facilitate
the implementation of cross-sectoral healthy lifestyles and to spark
new collaborations, long outlasting the duration of the project.
