A Heartfelt Thank You From the Fest Team!

EUFest Byala Project ends in few days. But … this is not just an ending… it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

As we look back at these moments — the smiles, the games, the shared laughter, the early-morning setups, the traditional games and the late-evening along the sea — our hearts are full.

Because you made the Fest what it was.

Every picture we share today tells a story:
🏐 Communitiy involved in beach sports
🤝 Volunteers helping in every aspect of the Fest
🌍 Friends from different countries teaching their traditional games
💙 All of us cheering, clapping, supporting
🌊 The beach turning into a place of energy, joy, and connection

People who came as strangers and left as part of a community
We wanted to organise a festival.
But together, we created a feeling. A memory. A little piece of magic in Byala.

To our partners and teams who travelled from afar,
To the top-level team of referees,
To the great medical staff,
To the stunning media team,
To our incredible host,
To our incredible DJ,
To our devoted ambassadors,
To our excellent lecturers,
To our volunteers who gave their whole hearts,
To the tireless staff of the Municipality of Byala,
To our local community that embraced the idea from day one
you all turned a small coastal town into a place of big dreams and even bigger emotions!
THANK YOU!

To everyone who joined — whether you played, watched, helped, cheered, carried equipment, shared a smile, or simply believed in us — THANK YOU!

Your energy, your kindness, your openness, and your enthusiasm made the Fest unforgettable. It was one of kind! And we will keep that feeling in our hearts!

We will keep these moments close.
We will keep building.
We will keep believing that sport can unite us, inspire us, and make us better — together.

This chapter ends with gratitude…
But the story continues.
See you at the next Fest. 💙🌊🏐

If we have missed you with a tag, please, tag yourself! It will be an honor for us to have you all tagged in our thank-you post 🩵

As you can see, AI did a great job with this card. 😊
But it still can’t take a walk, go for a jogging, play on the beach
or say “no” to the third piece of cake 😉

This Christmas, let’s move more, eat wisely and put our health – and our families’ health – first.

Be active! Be healthy! Movement is health!

From the EUFestByala Team, warm holiday wishes & an active New Year ahead! 🥳🏐🏸🚶‍♀️⚽️⛹️‍♂️🏄🤾‍♀️🤽🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏀🥏⛷️🏂🏃🧘

Yesterday we held our final EUFestByala meeting — a moment to reflect, but also to look ahead.

We focused on the impact we achieved, the Fest Know-How Manual we developed, and how this knowledge will be transferred into future EUFest editions across Europe.

The Know-How Manual will serve as a strong foundation for all partners, supporting the next steps in our joint activities and helping new communities bring the Fest spirit to life.

We also discussed the final project reporting and the growing network of partners now joining the Beach Sports EU Fest initiative — a network we aim to continue expanding across Europe.

The EUFestByala project may be coming to an end, but the future Beach Sports Fests are just getting started.

Stay tuned! 💙🏐🌊

EUFEST BYALA 2025 — WHEN BEACH SPORTS BROUGHT A SMALL BLACK SEA TOWN TO THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE!

Our beautiful town of Byala proved that big impact can happen in small places.

This year’s EUFest Byala transformed our seaside community into an international hotspot for sport, culture, and togetherness — and the results are incredible:

🏃‍♀️ 90%+ learned more about healthy living
💪 Almost everyone feels more motivated to be active
🤝 New friendships and partnerships everywhere
🌍 Traditional games created true cultural exchange
📘 A Fest Know-How Manual is now ready to help our network replicate the event

But the biggest win?
✨ Our community grew — and keeps growing.

Byala showed it can host modern, exciting, international sports events — and people are already asking for the Fest to become a yearly tradition.

Stay tuned. The Fest movement has only just begun. 💙🏐🌊

Today we had our regular monthly meeting. EUFest Byala comes to an end in December, but we are working to ensure a strong legacy and long-term sustainability of the great Beach Sports Festival we organised here in Byala.

As we continue our discussions on the possibilities for developing new joint projects, here are some sneak peeks “from the kitchen”:
• A very special Beach Sports event is planned to take place in beautiful Rijeka, Croatia!
• A major Beach Festival is being prepared in a great location in Turkey!

Our aim is to build on the concept of a European Beach Sports Festival and to expand the network of organisations working to promote sports, volunteering, and a healthy lifestyle.

We are also working on a Technical Manual that will provide easy-to-follow general steps and tools for organising large-scale events, covering every stage – preparation, implementation, and post-event activities. It will be a useful resource for any organisation interested in promoting a healthy lifestyle and physical activity through open Beach Sports events.

Beach Sports Fests and the Manual are on the way! Stay tuned!🏐🥏🎾🏸🏐🏊🏖️

As the summer comes to an end, our memories come (again) to warm our hearts!
What you said about the Fest is enough to keep the summer spirit alive!
We want to share some of your kind words, see it in the video!

EUFestByala and Rijeka Sports Association have a great success story to tell 😊
Tina and Neno were not playing beach volleyball before their participation in EUFestByala. Being part of the Croatia teams competing at the Fest have made them huge fans of the game, and they started practicing beach volley and even to take part in various tournaments in Croatia.
Listen to their story in the video below 🏐💙

EU Fest Byala feedback, received from participants, audience, volunteers, referees, lecturers, is so good that the Municipality of Byala team is even more motivated to turn the Fest into annual event.
The assessment we got back can be summarized shortly in “the best week ever” 😊
And yes, we are glad we managed to organize and hold such a wonderful sport event of such a scale, here in our beautiful town. Of course, there are also very good suggestions on what to improve in the next editions of the Festival and we will consider those in future events.

No matter that the Fest is over, the EUFestByala project continues, and we keep working with the ambition to create a unique brand Fest and to turn it into annual chain of consecutive events held in partners towns/cities, and furthermore – through extended partners network to scale-up the Fest across Europe.

Our regular partners’ meetings are now entirely dedicated to preparing and implement the legacy activities. What we have to work on till the end of the project is:

🔹To ensure concrete and logical steps to integrate the project results in the regular work of participating organisation
🔹To utilize the potential to positively impact Fest participants and participating organisations, as well as the wider community in mid- and long-term time-frame
🔹To utilize the potential of the project results to be used outside the organisations participating in the project during and after the project lifetime, and at local, regional, national or European level
🔹To ensure clear, complete and effective sharing of the project results beyond the project lifetime
🔹To implement concrete and effective steps to ensure the sustainability of the project results

Stay tuned! We will post the progress of EUFestByala activities!

Just incredible … see Peter, he was the group leader of the team of Italy and one of our volunteers.
Motivated by the Fest, Peter has started a journey to a healthier lifestyle. Being physically active and committing to a healthy protocol, for around 2 months, he has lost 10 kilos. And honestly, nothing makes us happier – to see people changing their habits in favor of health!
Peter was crucial part of the Fest, volunteering many hours for the Fest back in June, without complaining, always responsible, dedicated, and with a good positive vibe and attitude.
We are so thankful for having him as part of the Fest volunteers’ team and so proud of his progress on the path to better health.
Give Peter some support with 🩵
