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.
How does it work?
The game will start on 15 June 2026 and run for three weeks.
- You must register via this EUGLOH registration form by entering your details below (only registered participants will be considered for the prizes).
- After registration, you will receive an automatic email with instructions on how to download the app and join the challenge.
- To earn points, you need to walk or cycle and take part in the proposed sessions and quizzes. The principle is simple: move, collect points, and progress with your team
Tracking and Points System
- Physical activity is automatically tracked via your phone or a connected device.
- Points system: 100 steps = 1 point, 1 minute of cycling = 1 point, 1 Kiplin session = 30 points (daily maximum: 200 points).
- A tutorial will be provided at the start of the challenge via the Kiplin app.
Who can participate?
Students (Bachelor, Master, PhD) and Staff (academic, administrative, researchers) from all 9 EUGLOH universities.
*Members of EUGLOH associated partners or general public may also participate, but they will not be eligible for prizes.
