The VANGUARD project has been highlighted as a success story in the Portugal Country Physical Activity Factsheet 2024 from the World Health Organization (WHO) of the European Region. The factsheet describes that the VANGUARD project is “funded by the European Union Erasmus+ Programme to develop and implement undergraduate training in health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) for front-line health professionals to promote physical activity and better health outcomes for European citizens”, involving institutions from six European countries.
This recognition from the WHO underscores VANGUARD’s significant impact in advancing physical activity and fostering healthier lifestyles throughout Europe.
