3 Summary 1. Almost all network member countries have progressed in their efforts to promote HEPA nationally. To foster this development, the network has produced guidelines for the development of national HEPA policies in Europe. In addition, the network effectively promoted and disseminated its two earlier publications, Guidelines for National Health-Enhancing Physical Activity Promotion Programmes and Promotion of Transport Walking and Cycling in Europe: Strategy Directions. 2. The Second European Conference on the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity was organised in Belfast, Northern Ireland on October. The conference brought together almost 250 delegates from all over Europe. The Conference also attracted extensive media coverage during the two days. One important outcome of the conference was the partnership established between the Healthy Cities MCAP and the HEPA Network. 3. Europe on the Move! information network produced three newsletters and revised and expanded its database report. In addition, the information on projects and HEPA-related activities on the website has been complemented with policy information. 4. The Walk for Health project promoted its www-guidebook A Way of Healthy Walking and also produced hard copies of the publication. The project also carried out a follow-up survey of the walking programmes in Europe. 3
4 1. PROJECT OUTLINE The European Network for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (the HEPA Network) continues the efforts made in physical activity promotion since The general aim of the network is to promote the health and well-being of the European citizens through the development of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) policy. The specific aims are: (1) to encourage and facilitate the development of national HEPA promotion policies and programmes in the network member states, (2) to strengthen the European networking of national HEPA policy and programme developers, (3) to promote efficient information exchange among the European HEPA experts and professionals (4) to develop policies and good practices of promoting widely applicable forms of physical activities, e.g. transport walking and cycling 2. ADMINISTRATION OF AND CO-OPERATION IN THE PROJECT The UKK Institute has acted as the coordinating organization for the project. It has worked in close contact with the two partners Netherlands Olympic Committee*Netherlands Sports Confederation and Finnish Rheumatism Association. It has distributed funds received from the European Commission to the partners in accordance with the agreements. The three lead partners have had one meeting, on June, which discussed network coordination and organisation of the Second European Conference for the Promotion of Health- Enhancing Physical Activity. Each of the 21 network member countries has continued to have a national contact person who has acted as a focal point for policy development in the country. The project has followed the budget frame of the contract between the European Commission and the UKK Institute. 3. EVALUATION AND RESULTS OF THE JOINT PROJECT During the five years of the network s activities, substantial progress has been made in HEPA policy and programme development. In 1996, when the network was established, there was a national programme in three countries, but no national policies. Now, at the end of June, national strategy or policy is being actively developed in eight countries. One new national programme has been set up and one is being developed. National programmes focusing on HEPA in general or on walking continue in eight countries. In addition, there are numerous other activities related to HEPA promotion, such as campaigns or research. Some of the network member countries are not currently planning on creating national programmes or policies. In most of these countries, however, physical activity plays an important role in health promotion and disease prevention. This manifests as local or regional physical activity projects or other measures aimed at promoting active lifestyles. Thus it can be safely said that physical activity has secured its place on the public health agenda of the majority of the network member countries. To further facilitate HEPA policy and programme development, the network set out to produce a guide for HEPA policy development. To this end, the network organised a strategy workshop in Tampere, Finland, in September Altogether 25 physical activity experts and researchers from 4
5 16 European countries participated. This ensures that the guidebook will be widely applicable in Europe. The guidebook is available as a www-guide on the UKK Institute s website ( The network has also devoted a lot of time to disseminating and promoting its publications Guidelines for Health-Enhancing Physical Activity Promotion Programmes and Promotion of Transport Walking and Cycling in Europe: Strategy Directions. Both documents have been presented in the network s newsletter and on its website and in numerous conferences. The documents have also been made available on the websites of four other organisations. The Second European Conference on the Promotion of HEPA was organised in Belfast, Northern Ireland on October. The conference addressed the promotion of physical activity and the development of policies and partnerships from many different angles. The extensive media coverage that the conference attracted during the two days has most likely helped to raise the awareness of the general public of the significance and potential of physical activity to health in the UK. Thus the conference gave valuable support to the promotion of active lifestyles in Europe. In addition, it offered opportunities for physical activity promoters to make new contacts and create networks. According to the evaluation forms, delegates were most satisfied with the both the quality and content of the conference and the presentations. The Europe on the Move! Information network continued as an open forum for information exchange. The number of its membership continued to increase, amounting to 195 in June. The network has produced three newsletters. In addition, it has published and disseminated a revised and expanded database report which, in addition to providing information on members and their projects, now also includes information on policies and HEPA indicators. The information network has also assisted member countries in HEPA programme development. The Walk for Health project continued to promote walking in Europe. It focused its efforts on promoting and disseminating the guidebook A Way of Healthy Walking. In addition to making the guide available on the Internet, the project also produced hard copies of it. The guidebook has been warmly welcomed: in June, the site had been visited altogether 2648 times. The guidebook also received a citation award in the evaluation of the Finnish Centre for Health Promotion. The project carried out a follow-up survey of walking programmes in Europe. The results show that the end of 1990s has seen a rapid increase in the number of walking programmes. In 2000, altogether 22 walking programmes were being conducted in 12 countries. In 1994, there were three walking programmes in two countries. 4. POLICY DEVELOPMENT 4.1 European Workshop for the development of national policies and strategies 5
6 The European Workshop took place on September in Tampere, Finland. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss and further develop the draft guidelines produced by the rapporteur, Mr Hans Hagendoorn, former President and current Advisor of the Netherlands Institute for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. The workshop brought together 25 physical activity experts and researchers from 16 European countries. The three days included both plenary sessions and group work. During group work the participants produced case studied and examples of good practice for successful national policy development. Mr Hagendoorn completed the final version of the guidelines on the basis of the workshop results. The final version was discussed and approved by the HEPA Network s national contact persons in the business meeting organised during the Second European Conference for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity, which took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland on October The guidelines will be available as a www-document at the UKK Institute s website Second European Conference for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity The conference Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) and Active Living for You and Your Community took place at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland on October It was organised by The European Network for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (The HEPA Network), Health Promotion Agency for Northern Ireland, the Eastern Health and Social Services Board, and the Belfast Healthy Cities and Belfast City Council in collaboration with the World Health Organization s Healthy Cities Action Plan on Active Living (MCAP). Conference preparations started in March 2000 when Irish partners came to Finland for a two-day planning meeting. First announcements were circulated in May, second announcements in August. The conference programme was also discussed in the project meeting that took place in Amsterdam on June The Conference objectives were: To explore issues influencing policy development and implementation at international, national and local levels. To identify methods of developing and implementing policies and partnerships between Agencies, Government departments and community organisations. To share experiences and ideas in relation to HEPA and Active Living policy, partnerships and practice. The conference brought together almost 250 delegates from all over Europe. Participants included health and exercise professionals, voluntary, community and local authority personnel, educationalists and policy makers involved in HEPA and Active Living at international, national and local levels. The conference attracted extensive media coverage throughout the two days. Presenters were drawn from the international authorities of health promotion, HEPA and Healthy Cities. Delegates had an opportunity to hear presentations on a number of themes including: Networking and Partnerships; Developing European Activities; Targeting Social Need; 6
7 Walking, Cycling and the Environment; The Health Impact of Physical Activity. On the final day delegates were able to choose from a wide variety of best practice sessions including: Active Living Programmes and Projects; Networking and Multi-agency approaches to physical activity; Physical activity and Public Health Benefits; Promoting Physical Activity in a Range of Environments. One important outcome of the conference was the partnership established between the Healthy Cities MCAP and the HEPA Network. The two networks agreed on continuing their collaboration in the future as well. In the evaluation, delegates ratings of the conference contents and presentations varied between good and excellent. Conference recommendations and speakers abstracts and PowerPoint presentations were available on the Agency s website at: until January Provision of assistance for national policy and strategy development To facilitate national HEPA policy and programme development, Network representatives have made consultation visits to Belgium, Norway, Slovenia and Spain and provided assistance and ideas on how to develop national strategies or programmes. The two publications Guidelines for Health-Enhancing Physical Activity Promotion Programmes and Promotion of Transport Walking and Cycling in Europe: Strategy Directions have been widely circulated. Copies of both documents have been sent to partners, national contact persons, European Commission DG for Health and Consumer Affairs and the DG for Environment, European Commission Health Promotion Networks and the European Heart Network, WHO Headquarters and WHO Euro, International College of Sport Science and Physical Education, International Union of Health Promotion and Education, European College of Sport Science. In addition, the publications have been promoted through the Network s website and Newsletter. They have also been promoted at numerous international conferences both in Europe and on other continents. In addition to the HEPA Network s website, the two publications are available on the websites of the UKK Institute ( the Network HEPA Switzerland ( and Sätt Sverige i rörelse (Sweden on the Move! ( Status of HEPA policy development HEPA policy and programme development has been monitored through follow-ups with national contact persons. The responses show that progress is taking place in almost all countries. This 7
8 favourable development can be attributed to the efforts made by the HEPA network and its 21 national contact persons. Following is a short description of the developments that have taken place in HEPA promotion in the year 2000 and during the first part of More details and background information can be found in the enclosed Europe on the Move! database report, Part I: Country Information. Austria While there is no national HEPA programme in Austria, many regional programmes and other HEPA activities are being conducted by the Austrian Sports Federation, partners supported by governmental funds, the Austrian Medical Chamber and the Austrian Pharmaceutic Chamber. Physical activity is also a major topic in many prevention activities Belgium A symposium organised by the HEPA expert committee and Belgian Cancer Federation drafted a position statement and recommendations on HEPA. In addition, the members of the HEPA expert Committee have met with the Minister of Health and proposed that concrete action be taken to promote HEPA at the federal level. The Minister of Health has promised to give the matter further consideration. In the Flemish community, Policy Research Centre for Physical Activity will be established. It will be responsible for developing scientifically based policies with regard to sport, physical activity and health. Denmark In Denmark, the Minister of Health has created a Forum for Physical Activity. The forum, consisting of 10 experts, is to develop a plan for initiatives to promote HEPA. Finland In Finland, recommendations for the local promotion of HEPA were published in The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health established a National HEPA Committee, which will propose a national HEPA strategy in autumn The second 5-year phase of the national Fit for Life programme has been running since France The French Federation for Physical Activity and Health (FFEPGV) has entered in collaboration with eight other physical activity organisations. Together, they have elaborated an action plan ( ) for the development of national HEPA promotion policy. The action plan includes establishing a national HEPA Network. Iceland In Iceland, a draft governmental Health Plan ( ) includes a goal for increasing the physical activity levels of Icelandic people. The Sports for All sector of the National Olympic and Sports Association of Iceland has already agreed on measures aimed at achieving this goal.
