We are still a long way from breaking last year’s record of 5,600 events – but there is also still time to register as a MOVE Agent. Organise an event, big or small, in your community, office, school, club or university and make it count by signing up here. MOVE Week is happening in most European countries from 21-27 September, but please check with your National Coordinator for the dates in your country. And look out for MOVE Week if you are in Latin America - from 19-27 September in Brazil and 20-27 September in Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay.

NowWeMOVE and World Heart Day partner to promote heart-healthy environments
Opportunities to create heart-healthy environments are all around us – at home, at work and at play. And you can discover them for yourself this September by joining in MOVE Week and World Heart Day. Last year, the NowWeMOVE campaign and the World Heart Federation partnered to celebrate the start of our hallmark events, MOVE Week and World Heart Day, on the same day – 29 September. Our cross-promotion helped contribute to massive increases in participation: double the number for MOVE Week and 35% more for World Heart Day. This year the timing of our events may differ but our cross-sector collaboration will remain the same.
