The tenth Focal Point meeting included discussion on physical activity recommendations, explored partnerships for physical activity promotion and focused on issues relating to cycling, physical activity in older people, physical literacy and the protection of children from unhealthy advertising.

To promote multisectoral collaboration, a joint meeting with Member State representatives from agriculture and health took place on the second day, exploring issues relating to cross-sectoral cooperation and the Horizon Europe programme. In addition, participants took part in the seminar on the Tartu Call for Healthy Lifestyles — two years after, taking stock.

  • the Focal Points, representing 27 Member States and Norway;
  • representatives of the European Commission;
  • the World Health Organization, represented by staff from the Regional Office for Europe;
