Fit for Life Day
The GEF is proud to announce 'Fit for Life Day' initiative at #PEC23. GEF’s tangible support for UNESCO's ‘Fit for Life’ campaign is designed to address modern challenges, including physical inactivity, mental health, and societal inequality, while simultaneously fostering peace, inclusivity, and resilience within our global communities.
The Fit for Life Day, supported by UNESCO, is structured around five key objectives, with a primary focus on enhancing grassroots participation in esports and the promotion of quality physical education. By doing so, we aim to confront the rising rates of inactivity and chronic diseases, highlighting the potential of esports and physical well-being to drive positive change.
As an integral component of this initiative, the GEF is excited to unveil a vibrant campaign that celebrates and raises awareness for ‘Fit for Life Day’. We invite individuals to create and share their own video clips, with a maximum duration of one (1) minute, employing the hashtag #FitforLifeDay. These videos will serve as a powerful testament to the transformative influence of esports and physical activity in fostering equality, empowerment, and inclusion.
