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.
Inspired by Denmark is not only about sharing our success stories. We are eager to learn what methods work in other countries and discover how they might be applied here. We want to extend our hand by sharing our experiences, and we are eager to learn. Knowledge-sharing makes a difference. In collaboration, we can improve participation and health across borders for generations to come.
Experience– Inspiration–Examples
Inspired by Denmark aims to:
Europe has undergone a cycling revolution. Fifty years ago, few saw a pedal bike as a convenient way of getting around. Cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, where cycling was commonplace, were seen as slightly eccentric.
Existing best-practice knowledge about infrastructure and facilities was shared by cities across the continent to develop their own cycling networks. As a result, people’s attitudes have changed. Today, almost all of Europe’s major cities have introduced cycle lanes, and cycle use has risen tenfold. Previously seen as a niche or recreational activity, it is now viewed as a practical and sustainable mode of transport as well as a means of improving public health.
This knowledge-sharing has not only made cycling safer and more convenient, but has also promoted a new culture of movement. By exchanging knowledge, cities can persuade millions of citizens to become more active and healthy. By sharing what works, we help each other and build a healthier future.
In Denmark, the sharing of experience and expertise has been detailed on the Cycling Embassy of Denmark website
