Ad incontrare giovani e adulti per raccontare e aprire un dialogo su uno dei lati oscuri dello sport è stata Barbara Rossi, pedagogista e direttrice sportiva, Past President del Panathlon Pesaro e unica Ambassador per l'Italia del progetto SAMF che vede la partecipazione del Panathlon International come Partner.
L’incontro è stato un successo, ha visto la partecipazione di 80 studenti e atleti e dei loro insegnanti, che attraverso i materiali di sensibilizzazione predisposti dal consorzio, hanno potuto dialogare con i ragazzi e le ragazze anche sugli aspetti sociologici e culturali che possono influenzare i comportamenti illeciti.

Whilst representing Panathlon International, Fabio Figueiras gave an interview this week to the Portuguese Football Federation and its channel TV “Canal 11” from beautiful Switzerland, where the main topic of the interview was the Erasmus+ Project, Sport Against Match-Fixing (SAMF).
In the course of this interview, Fabio Figueiras had, amongst other, the possibility to share insights on Panathlon International’s contribution to SAMF, as well as how SAMF is contributing to mission of Panathlon International, especially when it comes to the education and awareness raising/prevention of wrong practices, such as manipulation of competitions, which are not aligned with the positive sporting and ethical values that Panathlon International stands for, such as an integral, ethical, inclusive, respectful and fair play sports.
Stay tuned for further information on the interview as well as on SAMF, as we are approaching the final conference, which will be held this year, in April.
On the 30 January 2024, the European Commission and the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) organised the Erasmus+ Sport Info Day in Brussel (Belgium).
As part of the agenda of the Erasmus+ Sport Info Day, participating speakers discussed policies and procedures related to the application of Erasmus+ projects, as well as provided advice and suggestions on
preparing and submitting proposals, and on the different financial aspects of funding of Erasmus+ projects.
Panathlon International, represented by Fabio Figueiras, participated in-person in the Erasmus+ Sport Info Day 2024 in Brussels. In parallel to the different sessions that were planned to occur on this day, there was also opportunity to network and meet different organisations.
Consequently, Panathlon International had the opportunity to interact and exchange with multiple participating organizations, clubs and federations, with whom Panathlon International already collaborated in the past, is still collaborating or is looking forward to potential collaborate in the future.
With this participation, Panathlon International reinforced and showcased its commitment for the promotion and spread of culture and sporting ethics by fostering international collaboration through initiatives like Erasmus+. It was also a good opportunity to disseminate past and current activities and projects where Panathlon International is active, especially the ones related to Erasmus+, such as Evidence-based Prevention of Sporting-related Match-fixing (EPOSM) and Sport Against Match-Fixing (SAMF).
Noteworthy to mention, that the registrations to attend in presence to this event were closed weeks ago, as it had reached full capacity, which shows how well participated this event was.

In tiefer Bestürzung und Trauer erfahren wir, dass das Internationale Ratsmitglied Eugenio Guglielmino, Kandidat für die internationale Präsidentschaft, plötzlich gestorben ist.
Er wurde von einem Schlag getroffen, während er seiner Aktivität als Ehrenamtlicher im Roten Kreuz nachging.
Er war Mitglied des Clubs Catania seit 2004, Präsident des Clubs von 2008 bis 2011, Gouverneur der Zone Sizilien von 2016 bis 2019 und Präsident der Wissenschafts-, Erziehungs- und Kulturkommission von P.I.
Der Internationale Präsident, der Internationale Rat, die Generalsekretärin und die gesamte panathletische Familie stehen Maria Rita, der Familie und dem Club Catania in ihrem grossen Schmerz nahe, der sie sie zutiefst erfasst hat, und sprechen ihr aufrichtigstes Beileid aus.
Wir denken an Eugenio mit Verbundenheit auf Grund seiner Intelligenz, Vermittlungsfähigkeit, ehrenhafter und tatkräftiger Tätigkeit für Panathlon International und für die Armen.
Für unsere Bewegung ist es ein grosser Verlust und eine grosse Leere.
Die Beisetzung findet morgen, den 30. Januar, um 15:30 Uhr in Catania in der Kirche Santa Maria della Guardia statt.
On a rainy and cold morning, we called together the youth of KRSG to give some more information on Match Fixing and Safeguarding. These are two topics that are very important to the youngsters who attended, all between the ages of 12 and 14. A lot of young athletes were sick so there were about 23 of us.
The coaches were also present and parents were also invited but that only gave a meagre turnout, which was a pity. We gave them some examples from rowing where match fixing can also be done at a lower level. They were very attentive and asked quite a few questions, which is of course a good thing. They also liked the videos and watching the comic strip on their mobile phones via the QR code.
We then gave them the posters and they hung them up themselves in the club. Again, it was a successful session with a lot of interaction, because that is important, keeping interaction with the children and letting them tell stories and ask questions themselves.
