Cevnautas,
   Faz tempo que "arreviramos os zoinhos" sonhando com a versão da ISCA - The International Sport and Culture Association - Newsletter em português. Do ponto de vista da DSI - Disseminação Seletiva da Informação - ele serve pra várias comunidades do CEV. Quam se habilita aparticipar da adoção do boletim (sim, só esses resumos serão em portugês, encaminhando pra publicação original)? Por falar nisso, deixei de fazer o link de cada notícia. Eles (e as fotos) podem ser conferidos em: http://www.isca-web.org/ (sim, um trabalho de gente grande seria editar/publicar o portal da ISCA em português, como fazíamos com o Centro de Estudos Olímpicos da Universidade Aberta de Barcelona antigamente ;-).

UNOSDP addresses ISCA
United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace

Sport can make a difference in everyone’s life. But for some people, such a difference is between hope and despair, smile and tears, poverty and employment, war and peace, sickness and good health, exclusion and equality. Sport can give them a chance.

As the Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace, I am deeply convinced that sport, physical activity and play is a key tool that can be used in the achievement of social transformation and inclusion. The UN is committed to promoting the access to sport for all (in priority to those who need it most) and to harness the power of sport in the pursuit of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The UN recognizes sports as a universal language which people worldwide can identify with and understand. Many UN agencies use sport as a cost-efficient and cross-cutting tool in their programmes. The UN also recognizes the power that athletes have to reach out to people. Many elite athletes are UN Goodwill Ambassadors, and use their fame and influence to help in the achievement of the MDGs.

European Fair Play Movement and ISCA sign cooperation agreement
ISCA has established a cooperation agreement with the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM) in the form of a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, aiming at the fulfillment of common goals in the field of Fair Play in Sport for All. The agreement was signed by the EFPM President Carlos Gonçalves and by the ISCA President, Mogens Kirkeby. ISCA continuously aims at expanding its network of national and international partners in an effort to address common goals and aims of the Sport for All sector.

Perspectives of sport for people with a disability
by Sport et Citoyenneté www.sportetcitoyennete.org

While the Lisbon Treaty is providing the European Union with a soft competence on sport, and in order to prepare the future policies, a European transversal working group is aiming at assessing perspectives offered by sport to disabled people in Europe.

The relationship between European Union policy-making and sport is gaining momentum due to the growing convergence between sport and social areas of activity and the Lisbon Treaty providing the European Union with a soft competence on sport. In this regards also sport for people with disabilities becomes more important for and attracts notice to political players dealing with sport at EU level.
      
UISP Project supported by the European Commission’s Sport Unit
Mimosa - Migrant’s Model Inclusion through Sport for All

Mimosa: "Migrant’s Model Inclusion through Sport for All" is the name of the new Uisp project funded by the European Commission’s Sport Unit. The project goal is the building of models of inclusion of migrants through sport for all activities. We talked with Carlo Balestri, Responsible of Uisp International Department about this topic.

"The project aims to use sport as a tool for greater integration and social integration of foreign communities in Italy - he said - We aim to study and develop new practices to be proposed to the European Commission as models of integration. We will use sports, particularly football and other subjects specific to certain foreign communities, such as cricket, baseball, touch rugby to increase the involvement of migrant communities. We plan to work on the participation of these new citizens are not simply the association’s activities".

Final event of Sport and Cultures in Dialogue project was held in Slovenia from 18-21 November 2010

Sport Citizens Forum in Slovenia welcomed the establishment of a constructive dialogue with stakeholders at the European and national level and called on the European Commission to further strengthen its on-going dialogue and cooperation with the sport for all sector specifically and civil society actors in general. 

“Only together we can foster a powerful civil society and promote dialogue between sport, culture, nature, environment and economy for development of individuals in Europe, including candidate and potential candidate countries to the EU”, confirmed participants/citizens from 33 Sport for All associations, from governmental and non-governmental institutions and - stakeholders from 10 countries.

ISCA President Mogens Kirkeby addressed more than 80 participants: ’In the future it will be crucial to identify preferences, expectations and demands from the citizens and the society and react to this with the full capacity of the organization.  The future successes will be the organizations which transform what your “hear” into action, programs, services for citizens and society.’

Sport Citizens Forum participants adopted Sport Citizens’ Forum Declaration on grass-root sport and citizenship, which can be found here >>>.

From the 22nd to the 28th of November 2010, 24 young people from the Balkans (Albania, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia) and Denmark had a training in Belgrade, Serbia.

The training was implemented in cooperation between the Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations, Sport For All Serbia and the International Sport and Culture Association on the themes of Intercultural dialogue through sport and physical activities and youth participation.

During the training the participants developed their skills towards interethnic dialogue through youth, sport and physical activities; they discovered or improved their abilities to implement innovative ways of participating in democratic decision making processes in their local communities. At the end of the week, the participants’ team started already to build a network and design projects and initiatives that they want to pursue and implement in the youth and sport fields with youth from the Balkans.”
