EUGLOH Walks the Talk – Walking Challenge (3rd Edition)
The European University Alliance for Global Health is launching the 3rd edition of its virtual walking challenge. This 2026 edition will be marked by an inter-university challenge with teams of up to three people from one of the 9 EUGLOH partner universities.
What is the challenge?
This is a recurring EUGLOH wellbeing initiative designed to encourage participants to adopt healthier daily habits through daily physical activity, such as walking. The programme, delivered via the Kiplin app, is designed to help you move more, eat better, and improve your sleep.
You should join as part of a team of up to three people from your home university. All types of physical activity count, including walking, running, cycling, and wellbeing sessions.
The challenge is fully inclusive and open to everyone, including wheelchair users.
The title “EUGLOH Walks the Talk” is based on an English idiom meaning to "act in accordance with one’s words or values". It reflects EUGLOH’s commitment not only to promoting health and wellbeing, but also to putting it into practice by supporting an active lifestyle.

The game will start on 15 June2026 and run for three weeks.
