No Elevators Day is an open activation event organised by the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA), a global umbrella association for organisations working within the field of sport for all, recreational sports and physical activity. Established in 1995, ISCA works with almost 290 member organisations, international NGOs and public and private stakeholders to create a network of physical activity promoters and specific actions that get citizens moving. With over 40 million individual members from 89 countries on five continents, ISCA’s members represent a diverse group of people active within grassroots sport, youth and cultural activities. In 2012, ISCA launched the NowWeMOVE campaign with an overall objective to raise awareness of the benefits of sport and physical activity among citizens, to promote opportunities to be active, and to enable sustainable and innovative capacity building for providers of physical activity initiatives. Its activities have helped millions of people to “find their move”. No Elevators Day is a worldwide event that shares how people use the stairs instead of elevators and escalators as a fun and healthy way to add some physical activity to their day. We invite you to celebrate No Elevators Day with us and we encourage you to think of the stairs as an appealing, fun and useful tool to #FindYourMOVE and join us to spread the word and invite people to share their ideas on how to #UseTheStairs. So, how you can join in on the last Wednesday of April? It’s easy! Simply use the stairs to #FindYourMOVE and share your moves with us in pictures and/or videos with the two campaign hashtags #UseTheStairs and #NoElevatorsDay. The Urban Intervention Toolkit will help you to hunt the most appropriate and beautiful stairs in your surroundings to implement your #NoElevatorsDay event. Be a role model and demonstrate that being physically active is as easy as taking the stairs, and encourage people to join in.

THE LOCAL ADMINISTRATION AND MUST NOT
CONTRADICT THE LAWS OR REGULATIONS IN THE

VERY SPECIFIC.

3. Taking the stairs can turn into a great adventure
both for you and for the more “lazy“ neighbours
around you. It brings not only health benefits, but
can also reduce stress levels thus making you
feel happy.
STEPS
1. Choose the most appropriate place around
your city. Ensure it will be visible and
easily accessed by lots of people. Spots
like metrostations, underpasses or central
monuments are perfect.
2. Make sure you are permitted to make the
intervention.
3. Paint the stairs or use the template on the
next pages to print the design directly on
sticker.
4. Place the stickers on the vertical plain of the
stairs (as shown with white dots).
5. Take the stairs!
