The first #MoveatWork conference, an Erasmus+ project supported by the European Commission, was organised during the European Corporate Sport Games in Bordeaux. It was hosted on June 15th at the Palais de la Bourse in Bordeaux and gave floor to various speakers, who expressed their wish “to encourage companies and their teams to adopt active lifestyles”.
Move at Work was created because of the following figures:
0

0
%
of physical and sporting activities take place in the workplace.
