The Now We Move campaign was launched by International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) in 2012 to unite the sport-for-all sector and various other industries in the fight against physical inactivity worldwide. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity, create more opportunities for people to be active, and support organizations in delivering sustainable and innovative physical activity initiatives through advocacy and open-source solutions.
As the national coordinator in Austria, we are committed to making movement accessible and engaging for everyone through inspiring events and initiatives.

Our Past Activities
As the national coordinator of Now We Move in Austria for the past two years, we have actively promoted the campaign through engaging and inclusive events. For No Elevators Day, we organized a hike to Leopoldsberg, encouraging participants to embrace movement in nature while raising awareness about the benefits of daily physical activity. Additionally, we ran awareness campaigns to inspire schools, workplaces, and individuals to take the stairs and make small yet impactful changes in their routines.
During MOVE Week, we have brought people together through a wide range of activities spanning the entire week. Each year, participants have had the chance to enjoy yoga sessions, hiking adventures, climbing experiences, and outdoor games like spikeball and badminton. Read more about our events from MOVE Week 2023 and MOVE Week 2024.
