Sport is not only about competition. It is also a space for equal opportunities, confidence and inclusion.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Europe House<\/strong> joined forces with Women Power Cup<\/strong><\/a> to take part in the 22nd edition of the Wizz Air Skopje Marathon<\/strong><\/a> through the \u201cWear the Change\u201d<\/strong><\/a> initiative \u2013 standing alongside women and girls who take part in sport, compete, inspire others and constantly push their limits.<\/p>\n

The joint marathon participation was part of the activities with which Europe House marked the European Week of Sport<\/strong>, which began on 23 September and brought a range of sports activities and initiatives across the country, highlighting that sport is for everyone \u2013 regardless of age, gender or ability.<\/p>\n

More Than a Race<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Running a marathon takes endurance, discipline and determination<\/a>. But sport is about more than what happens at the starting or finishing line.<\/strong> It is about building healthy habits, making a commitment, establishing a routine and choosing to make sport part of everyday life.<\/p>\n

The Europe House team<\/strong> and athletes from Women Power Cup<\/strong> in Kochani came together at the Skopje Marathon to highlight the importance of greater inclusion and gender equality in sport<\/strong>. We want to encourage more girls and women to discover sport as a space for personal growth, connection and new achievements.<\/p>\n

Women Power Cup<\/strong> brought the energy of women\u2019s sport, movement and female strength<\/a> \u2013 both on the field and in society. And through \u201cWear the Change\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 an initiative of the Delegation of the European Union and the Europe House network \u2013 we create space for dialogue, new ideas and progress towards greater gender equality.<\/p>\n
