The EU GREEN alliance is relaunching its connected physical activity challenge, “Get Active 2.0”, taking place from April 28 to May 18, 2025. Students and staff from partner universities are invited to take part in this dynamic, cross-border event designed to boost their physical activity and team spirit!
This year’s challenge is coordinated jointly by the University of Gävle (Sweden) and the University of Angers (France), as part of sustainable and healthy campuses.
The initiative aims to encourage daily movement, fight sedentary lifestyles, and promote active mobility, for a healthy and sustainable campus life.
A fun and inclusive 3-week competition
From April 28 to May 18, participants will walk or cycle to earn points via the Kiplin mobile app. By forming teams of up to 5 people, participants will contribute to a collective effort to move more!
Whether participants walk to class, cycle to work, or just enjoy a stroll during their lunch break, every movement counts. Fun challenges and quizzes will also be integrated to spice up the experience and give the teams the chance to earn bonus points.
This year, the nine EU GREEN universities will compete in the challenge:
How does it work?
Participants earn “kips” through physical activity, which are then converted into points. The point system rewards regular moderate activity over occasional intense efforts, to encourage healthy habits for everyone:
- 1 kip = 100 steps or 1 minute of cycling
- Points scale:
- From 1 to 100 kips → 100 points per kip
- From 101 to 200 kips → 50 points per kip
- From 201 to 300 kips → 10 points per kip
- Beyond 300 kips → 0 points per kip
At the end of the challenge, 3 rankings will be established: individual ranking, team ranking, and university ranking (inter-entity competition).
