As part of the celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of Panathlon International and following the conclusion of the 23rd International Congress, the 52nd General Assembly of Panathlon International took place in Ghent, Belgium.
The Assembly represented a particularly significant moment of democratic participation and discussion for the entire Panathlon Movement. 43 clubs were present, with a total of 187 voters, representing 14 countries: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, France, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Santo Domingo, Slovenia, Switzerland and Uruguay.
During the ordinary session, the scheduled reports were presented and the items on the agenda were discussed, receiving broad support from the Assembly. The debate confirmed the shared commitment to the strategic guidelines and the common resolve to continue the path of growth, strengthening and promotion of Panathlon International worldwide.
In the afternoon, voting took place on the proposed amendments to the Statutes. This was a particularly complex and important phase, during which the Clubs were involved in no fewer than 71 votes. The attentive and responsible participation of the delegates enabled this fundamental step towards updating and shaping the future structure of the Movement to be addressed with seriousness and a constructive spirit.
Panathlon International would like to extend its sincere thanks to all the Clubs present and represented for their participation, collaboration and contribution throughout the Assembly proceedings.
The Ghent Assembly thus forms an integral part of Panathlon International’s 75th anniversary celebrations, reaffirming the value of the Clubs’ participation and the central role of club life in shaping the Movement’s future.
The day concluded with a gala dinner, preceded by the Communication Award ceremony, hosted by the award’s organiser, Giacomo Santini, during which the three winners were presented with their awards in recognition of their work.Photogallery
