International President Pierre Zappelli participates in the 40th CSIT International Congress (World Confederation of Amateur Sports), which takes place in Tortosa (Spain) from 23 to 27 October.
On this occasion, the President will be able to illustrate the latest actions carried out by Panathlon International and, at the same time, to present a project for a more intense collaboration between the two associations.
This issue was discussed at the meeting between President Zappelli and President Molea, which took place in Rome on 13 September: strengthening cohesion and implementing programmes that could disseminate shared values.
In this regard it should be recalled that there is a collaboration protocol between PI and CSIT signed in 2105 by President Santini.
The first goal is to be present at the next CSIT World Games which will take place in Tortosa in July 2019 with a Panathlon Prize.

The five days of Panthlon International ended in the splendid setting of the Grand Hotel Baglioni’s terrace in Florence with Giotto’s Bell Tower in the background.
Between Wednesay 13 and Thursday 14 June 2018 at the Hotel 500, only 10 Km from the heart of Florence, the following meetings were held:
• Panathlon International Cultural Scientific Committee (Elaine Cook, President, Anne Tivas, Antonio Bramante, Eugenio Guglielmino, were assisted during the first day by the President and General Secretary) from such meeting emerged a document summarizing the Committee’s program guidelines, objectives and suggestions for Panathlon International and its Clubs as well as indications for its Junior Clubs, the Literary Contest and Erasmus plus.

Each member reported on the work carried out in these two years and on the projects he intends to implement.

Friday, June 15m 2018: The works relating to the 21° Panathlon International Congress took place with a great deal of satisfaction. Lecturers of the highest order have addressed the various issues pertaining to the Conference with great professionalism and interesting contributions. For the first time workshops were introduced so as to involve participants in worktables, discussing on how Panathlon International could actively cooperate to address issues related to the sports world. The only negative point noticed was the lack of participation by clubs throughout the work day. We should perhaps consider different solutions to increase the involvement of clubs and those interested to issues being dealt with, so as not to undermine the work carried out, great professionalism, the very high Committee standards and that of its lecturers. Furthermore, it should not be underestimated in terms of culture and investment which Panathlon International has undertaken and has committed for the achievement of the Conference.
