European Parliament adopts Declaration on Grassroots Sport
ISCA thanks all the members of the European Parliament that supported the declaration
On December 16, 2010 a majority of 385 Members of the European Parliament adopted the Written declaration 0062/2010 on increased European Union support for grassroots sports. The declaration calls for 5 measures to be implemented by European Union institutions and/or EU member states.
ISCA has been greatly involved in promoting the adoption of the declaration, through direct contact to all members of the European Parliament, a series of speeches at the European Parliament and direct assistance to the MEP sponsoring the declaration.
ISCA President Mogens Kirkeby points out that ‘this is a strong political signal from the European Parliament. The support to the Written Declaration combined with the conclusions from the Sport Minister meeting on November 18, strongly underline, that grassroots sport should be the European Union’s priority within the sports field in the years to come.’

European Union Structured Dialogue on Sport
EU institutions and sports sector start new collaboration
The Belgian EU Presidency, led by Flemish Minister for Sport Philippe Muyters, brought together representatives of the EU institutions and the sports sector. This was done for the first time within the framework of the new Sport Council. During this informal meeting, they discussed the future EU collaboration in the area of sport.
“Together with the Commission and Parliament, we have decided to conduct a regular dialogue with stakeholders from the world of sport”, said Philippe Muyters, Flemish Minister for Sport and Chairman of the Sport Council.
"It’s a very important fact that European Commission created this Advisory Committee to valorize the contents of the White Paper on Sport, namely the promotion of the social value of sport", said Filippo Fossati, Chairman of ISCA Europe. "This meeting produced an agenda of priorities, including the fight against doping, campaigns to promote the value of sport as an active driver for social inclusion and the fight against illegal activities in the football world".

New Campaign video released
www.sportvision2020.eu
We invite organizations, institutions, MEPs, individual citizens to support the petition for the common European vision of : 100 MILLION MORE EUROPEANS ACTIVE IN SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BY 2020.
Go to www.sportvision2020.eu to support the petition >>>.
Today grassroots sport is engaging 40 % of all Europeans on a regular basis. If we add to this the number of Europeans who are physically active in other ways than sport, 65 % identify themselves as active on regular basis (Eurobarometer, 2010). However, there is a considerable gap between European countries in regard of the degree of involvement of the citizen in public life in general, and in sport in particular.
Close the physical activity gap by giving all Europeans the opportunity to be physically active regularly. If all EU societies reached the current level of the top 25% of EU countries - then 100 million more Europeans would be regularly active in sport and physical activity.
SANTE Advisory Group
SANTE Advisory Group is composed by top level researchers
Within the general framework of the SANTE Project, an Advisory Group has been established, which is composed by international top level researchers and aims to qualify, evaluate and study the progress of the project and specific themes and interventions involved in it.

During the 2nd meeting of the Advisory Group in Copenhagen from the 10th to the 11th of December the members went on to define and prepare a scientific framework through which Good Practices, within the health-enhancing physical activity sector, will be defined, identified and selected. Finally the AG will prepare a specific Handbook aimed at collecting the most inspiring good practices, which will be published in spring 2011. The next meeting of the AG will take place in Cassino, Italy, at the end of January 2011.

European Year of Volunteering 2011
Regional and local authorities in action during the European Year of Volunteering 2011
Volunteering has great potential for the social, economic and territorial cohesion of Europe. By designating 2011 as the "European Year of Volunteering", the EU aims to increase the recognition and popularity of volunteering across Europe and to encourage the exchange of best practice between its member states, regional and local authorities and civil society organisations. This purpose will be served by a Forum of the Committee of the Regions on 26 January 2011, which will at the same time launch a collection of best local practice in volunteering in order to feed into the European Commission’s conference on volunteering in Athens in October 2011.
On the eve of its Plenary Session on 27 and 28 January 2011, the Committee of the Regions invites interested regional and local representatives as well as practitioners to share good practice and discuss on topics centred around the objectives set out for the European Year of Volunteering:
- How to create an enabling and facilitating environment for volunteering in the EU?
- How to empower volunteer organisations and improve the quality of volunteering?
- What could be done to recognise achievements gained in volunteering activities?
- What can RLA do to raise awareness of the value and importance of volunteering?
In conjunction with the Forum, ISCA will organize the kick-off meeting of its EuroVolNet project, which is targeted at improving volunteering infrastructure during the European Year of Volunteering. EuroVolNet is supported by the European Commission´s Sport Unit´s preparatory actions in the field of sport.

ISCA Season’s Greetings
Greetings from ISCA President, Mogens Kirkeby
2010 has been an extremely important year for ISCA and its members. We have implemented an incredible amount of international projects in the field of Sport. Among other the ¨PATHE – Physical Activity Towards a Healthy Europe¨ project concluded successfully and produced results that ISCA and its members can rely on when planning strategies for physical activity and health.
Moreover 2010 has been the start-up year for 2 other large-scale projects, namely ¨SANTE – Sport Action NeTwork of Europe¨ and ¨Sport and Cultures in Dialogue¨ that have enabled important partnerships between the numerous stakeholders in the Sport for All sector. The MOVE2010 Congress has been a demonstration of ISCA’s willingness to build bridges between sport organizations and the public and private sector and we can already now look forward for a continuation of this effort in 2011.
