Step up for the cause of movement

Wednesday 24 April 2019 will mark the 5th edition of No Elevators Day. Join this free global initiative and step up for the cause of movement! No Elevators Day highlights a simple way for busy people to add physical activity to their day: take the stairs instead of the elevators or escalators.

WHY PARTICIPATE

  1. 1.

    You will support an international movement that is aiming to defuse the physical inactivity time bomb. Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), and you have a chance to change this statistic!

  2. 2.

    You will help create healthier habits among members of your community.

  3. 3.

    You will raise the profile of your organisation, institution, university, youth group, or whoever you represent when you promote your #NoElevatorsDay action on social media.

  4. 4.

    You will celebrate a global physical initiative and be part of a network of 4000+ MOVE Agents worldwide. MOVE Agents are NowWeMOVE campaign event organisers and can be anyone who has an interest in promoting physical activity.

No Elevators Day is an initiative of the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) as part of the NowWeMOVE campaign to get 100 million people more active by 2020.

All activities under the No Elevators Day title are voluntary and should take into consideration
accessibility requirements for people with disabilities and medical conditions.

    No Elevators Day is a great idea. It’s about just taking that moment to not take the short cut, but to actually raise your heartbeat, take those stairs, reach for the top and get that extra exercise in. Get those extra paces into your day. So I think it is a marvellous idea. And when somebody always asks me what’s the fastest way to the top, it’s walking up an escalator. Don’t just stand still, be active!

  • Mirela Bitan Secretary, Romania

    It’s such an easy way to take care of your health! We wish it would take place at least once a week, EVERYWHERE, and hopefully taking the stairs becomes a reflex!

  • Ivan DimitrovIPSOS Game Changers Manager, Bulgaria

    None of our employees were opposed to taking part in the initiative, we are even thinking that it should not be just one day but more days of the year.

  • Donika Rizova Media Group Investor, Bulgaria

    We joined for a second consecutive year because we believe in a healthy lifestyle. Our employees are active, come to work with their bicycle, and use the stairs at work and at home. For us it is a way of life, and we hope by getting into No Elevators Day we will motivate our viewers to use the stairs.
