The UAE Sports for All Federation, in cooperation with the University of Sharjah, has launched the “Your Health Starts at Your Residence” initiative, aimed at promoting sports and health awareness among university residence students and encouraging them to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle.
The launch ceremony was held at the University of Sharjah in the presence of H.E. Dr. Eid Mohammed Kanaan, Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Sharjah, and Mr. Ahmed Ali Al Salman, Board Member of the UAE Sports for All Federation, along with a number of officials, supervisors, and students.
The initiative is organised in cooperation with the University of Sharjah’s University Housing Department and the Sports Activities Section at the Deanship of Student Affairs, reflecting the commitment of both sides to supporting physical activity among university students and promoting sport as an essential part of everyday life.
Running for three months, the initiative includes a range of sports and health programmes and activities designed to encourage students to engage in regular physical activity and raise awareness of the importance of movement and exercise in promoting health and enhancing quality of life.
The initiative also seeks to provide university residence students with opportunities to participate in various sporting activities, while creating an environment that encourages active and healthy lifestyles within the university community.
Both sides highlighted the importance of cooperation between sports organisations and educational institutions in promoting a culture of community sport and reaching different segments of society, particularly young people and university students.
The partnership reflects the shared commitment of the UAE Sports for All Federation and the University of Sharjah to supporting initiatives that contribute to a more active and healthy community, while strengthening the role of sport in promoting well-being and quality of life.
Through the “Your Health Starts at Your Residence” initiative, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to developing programmes that encourage regular physical activity and help make sport a sustainable part of students’ daily lives.
