Panathlon International was well represented at the EU Sport Forum in Krakow (10/11 April 2025), a key event for the European Sport organizations.. The forum provides a platform to address the significant changes and challenges facing the European Sport model. Stakeholders, EU institutions, and Member States come together to ensure the sustainability of sports in the EU.

A highlight of the program was the high-level panel discussion focusing on strengthening the European Sport Model through solidarity, values, and competitiveness. The panel featured distinguished speakers including MEP Zdrojewski, EU Commissioner Glenn Micallef, and Laura McAllister, Vice President of UEFA. Their insights were truly inspiring, and it was a great opportunity to engage with them on supporting these ambitious projects. 

In the current socio-economic context where authoritarian nationalism leads to degrading situations, the participants and speakers agreed that the promotion of Olympic values by practising Sport together represents a necessary positive and humanistic response.

In his intervention, Ukrainian Sports Minister Matviy Bidnyi referred to special solidarity of European neighbours with top Ukrainian sports. A clear signal that sport unites.

The 2024 European Parliament elections are an opportunity for the new commissioner to sharpen the European Sports Policy. In discussion groups, EU Forum participants highlighted, among other things, the importance of continuing projects like Erasmus+ and simplifying them administratively wherever possible.

Paul Standaert represented Panathlon International and was able to meet the EU Commissioner, EU MPs, the Minisiter for Sport of Ukraine and several delegations from European countries.. Other Panathlon members were also present from their own sports organisations.

For Panathlon International, this remains an important networking moment to discuss possible cooperation.  For example, Panathlon EU Brussels will collaborate with ENGSO on the occasion of the European Week of Sport in September 2025.

The next European Sports Forum in the spring of 2026 will take place in Cyprus.

The meetings of the President's Committee (PC) and the International Board (IB) were held online in Rapallo on 2 and 3 April with the participation of the International President. Many important topics were discussed during the meetings.

In particular, the final balance sheet for the year 2024 was unanimously approved, together with the budget estimates for the two-year period 2025-2026, accompanied by the reports of the Treasurer and the Auditors' Committee

It was also decided to convene an online Extraordinary General Assembly in May, aimed at approving the budgets that had been suspended following the rejection of the increase in PI membership fees last December. In the same month there will also be a meeting between the IB and the Governors, possibly in person, as requested by the DI Governors' Board.

Other important points discussed concerned the Erasmus projects presented to the European Union, with a heartfelt thanks to Fabio Figueiras who, together with the General Secretariat, played a fundamental role in getting the PI to participate in as many as eight projects, both as a partner and as a head organiser. The meeting with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was also discussed during which our current projects have been presented with particular attention to PI's participation in the Milano-Cortina Olympics. Participants were informed of the communication sent to all Clubs with the registration procedures to become Olympic “torchbearers”. The topic was also addressed with the PI-D. Chiesa, who participated in the IB for the usual annual meeting.

The IB also confirmed its commitment to the ‘Youth Sport Day’ (for which the Secretariat has just sent out a circular) and has granted its patronage for the next event, illustrated by the IB member Paolo Perin, relating to the Expo on caregiving, which will be held at the Pordenone Fair on 8, 9 and 10 May and with the participation of International President Giorgio Chinellato. Other topics discussed concerned the events planned for November 2025, with the Pan American Congress in Chihuahua (Mexico), and the congress in June 2026, which includes the organisation of the Congress, the Assembly, the 75th anniversary of PI and the Flambeau d'Or in the city of Ghent (Belgium).

Among the main topics discussed, we would like to point out the identification of the winner of the CSIT Award, who will be honoured during the World CSIT Games, scheduled to take place in Greece from 3 to 8 June this year. The award will go to a personality who has distinguished him/herself in the promotion of ethical and cultural values in the field of sport. As soon as it is made official, the news will be widely disseminated.

Another important point concerns the growing collaboration with the Associations recognised by the IOC (ISOH-CIFP-CIPC) which will soon lead to the organisation of a joint event. In addition, the collaboration with the other International Associations involved in Fair Play continues, for the celebration of World Fair Play Day, proclaimed by the United Nations and which will be held on 19 May.

A heartfelt thanks was addressed to our CCSE for the highly successful initiative that saw the launch of webinars, the first of which was made with subtitles in several languages.

The meetings ended on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., in an atmosphere of collaboration and synergy, with the aim of increasing the visibility of PI at all levels and pursuing the projects presented to the Board.

Le Prix 2025 du Panathlon Club de Lausanne a été décerné à Crissier à Laetitia Hartmann de l’association Rafro Léman. Le club service lausannois récompense ainsi une dirigeante et sportive qui oeuvre dans l’ombre d’un sport peu connu et inclusif, le rafroball.

Le Panathlon Lausanne a félicité Laetitia Hartmann pour ses mérites humains et son dévouement dans la recherche sportive alliant des personnes handicapées et valides pratiquant et partageant le même sport. Le rafroball, sport de balle en salle, mêle des personnes de tout handicap et des valides, hommes et femmes en fauteuil roulant ou non, dans la même équipe. Le plaisir et le fair-play font partie des buts de cette discipline et se sont des valeurs portées par le mouvement panathlonien.

Engagée dans la promotion de ce sport inclusif et présidente de son club, le Rafro Léman, Laetitia Hartmann occupe toutes les fonctions bénévoles de joueuse, entraineuse, coach, arbitre et chauffeur de bus lors des déplacements pour les matches du championnat.

Après une démonstration dans la salle omnisports de Marcolet à Crissier le 31 mars 2025, la cérémonie s’est déroulée devant une septantaine de convives. La Vaudoise Laetitia Hartmann (31 ans) a été applaudie par ses invité·es, les membres des clubs et les autorités communales. Le diplôme a été remis par Oscar Tosato, président de la commission du Prix Panathlon, en présence du président du club, Marc-Henri Clavel. « Cette distinction est un encouragement, une reconnaissance, un remerciement et mille coups de coeur pour tout ce que vous faites », a relevé Oscar Tosato. Le prix, sous la forme d’un chèque de 1000 francs, est destiné à l’association Rafro Léman et contribuera aux importants frais lors des déplacements des athlètes.

Après une première expérience enrichissante en 2024, Rafro Léman participera (le dimanche) aux prochains Panathlon Family Games® des 17 et 18 mai 2025 à Vidy. Une occasion pour le public de tester ce sport rassemblant des règles de handball, de football et de basketball. (comm./J.G.)

À propos

Club service dont les buts sont de promouvoir la culture et l’éthique sportive, le Panathlon Club Lausanne (PCL) a été fondé en 1956. Il couvre le canton de Vaud, jusqu'aux portes des clubs d'Yverdon-les-Bains et du Chablais. Le Prix Panathlon a été remis pour la première fois en 1958. Il récompense une personnalité qui s’est particulièrement distinguée par d’éminentes qualités allant au-delà̀ des performances, dans un esprit fair-play. Depuis, une soixantaine d’hommes, femmes ou équipes ont été honorés, mais cette distinction n’est pas attribuée chaque année. C’est une commission qui désigne le ou la récipiendaire.
