The European Commission officially launched the Healthy Lifestyle for All (#HealthyLifestyle4All) Campaign in the Turkish Cypriot community at an action-packed event held on Saturday, 23 October from 15:30-19:30 at Merkez Lefkoşa with the slogans "Now is the time for Healthy Lifestyle 4 All, Be Active Across Generations".  The campaign aims to raise awareness about active, healthy lifestyle priorities which foster active ageing, build resilience, social inclusion and connect generations. 

The launch event, which was open to the public, provided excellent examples and varieties of fun activities that people can engage in – all of which promote physical activity and wellbeing.  Activities, suitable for all age groups, included basketball, cycling, jumping fitness, spinning, yoga, pilates and many other surprise activities. Presentations were also provided by a variety of experts on healthy eating and healthy living.

It is driven by the knowledge that everyone can benefit from activities that improve health and well-being.

There are three pillars to the HealthyLifestyle4All initiative:

• Awareness - improved awareness of healthy lifestyles across all generations
• Access - easier access to sport, physical activity and healthy diets. HL4A has a special focus on inclusion and non-discrimination to reach disadvantaged groups
• Holistic approach - HL4A is about teaming up in a holistic approach to food, health, well-being and sport
