Many countries have strong traditions of grassroots sports participation. But not enough is being done to share best-practices across borders. Given that many nations and organisations face similar challenges, we believe that the exchange of knowledge in this area can improve well-being on a global scale. Inspired by Denmark is a platform for organisations to share and exchange the best methods of engaging people to move.
Denmark boasts a rich tradition of public engagement in sport and physical activity, and consistently ranks high on participation levels in international comparisons. A large number of domestic initiatives are contributing to this. The most successful are detailed here.
Inspiration to keep Denmark moving is driven by a variety of organisations, whose staff and volunteers work daily to encourage new participants to become active and to sustain existing achievements. Here, you can view profiles of some of the most prominent organisations that keep Denmark moving and descriptions of the work they do.
