Webinar Series - Panathlon International: Focus on Ghent 2026
Published in News from Panathlon International
9 April 2026 - Panathlon International is preparing for a moment of great significance: the 23rd International Congress, to be held in Ghent (Belgium) from 4 to 7 June 2026, marking the 75th anniversary of the Association’s commitment to promoting ethics and values in sport.
The recent webinar offered a comprehensive preview of the Congress, highlighting its vision and structure. The event brought together representatives from all over the world, reinforcing Panathlon’s international dimension and its role within the Olympic Movement and the European institutional context.
The programme was designed to combine tradition and innovation.
The first day was dedicated to sports diplomacy, youth engagement and governance, exploring the role of sport as a tool for dialogue, inclusion and cooperation between cultures.
Particular attention was paid to young people, not only as participants but as future ambassadors of sporting values.
The second day addressed key issues such as integrity and good governance in sport, with contributions from international institutions, the academic world and industry experts. This reflects Panathlon International’s growing commitment to the global debate on transparency, ethics and accountability in sport.
Alongside the Congress, the Best Practices Exhibition was also launched, inviting Clubs and Districts to present their projects and their impact on the local community. The contributions gathered will be compiled into a digital handbook, creating a shared repository of experiences and best practices.
The Ghent Congress represents not only a celebration of 75 years of history, but above all a strategic opportunity to look to the future, strengthen international cooperation and reaffirm Panathlon International’s mission: to promote sport as a tool for education, ethics and social development.

Le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles inaugure les « Cours de récré du Fair-Play » dans les 8 écoles fondamentales de la Ville de Herve.
Durant le mois de mars, ce sont 3 nouvelles « Cours de récré du Fair-Play » qui ont été inaugurées par le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles dans les écoles communales de la Ville de Herve. Les élèves de P5 et P6, âgés de 9 à 12 ans, ont également participé à un ciné Fair-Play animé par l’association pour l’occasion.
À l’initiative de Marianne Dalem, Échevine de l’Enseignement de la Ville de Herve, cette action, lancée en 2023 en collaboration avec l’association Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles, dont la commune est membre adhérent, vise à inscrire pleinement et durablement les valeurs du Fair-Play dans les espaces de jeu et de vie des jeunes élèves herviens.
Au total, c'est l'ensemble des 8 écoles de la Ville de Herve qui mettent les valeurs du Fair-Play à l'honneur dans leur cours de récré :
L’école communale fondamentale de José
L’école communale fondamentale de Chaineux
L’école communale fondamentale de Battice

L’école communale fondamentale de Xhendelesse

Comme n’a pas manqué de le rappeler Madame Sandra Verstappen, Directrice de l’École communale fondamentale Grand-Rechain, "L’objectif de cette activité est de faire de la cour de récréation un espace exemplaire. Ici, le fair-play est la règle d’or. A travers le sport et le jeu, nous apprenons à renforcer nos liens d’amitié et à placer le respect au cœur de chaque échange".
Par cette initiative, les écoles concernées s’engagent à faire vivre durablement les valeurs du Fair-Play dans leurs espaces de jeu et de vie.

Poster Showcase Project: Great turnout and lots of enthusiasm!
Published in News from Panathlon International
Yesterday evening, 30 March at 8.00 pm CET, an information session dedicated to the Poster Showcase project took place, attended by no fewer than 23 participants.
The event was characterised by a positive atmosphere and the genuine interest shown by the clubs present, who asked targeted and constructive questions. In particular, attention focused on the procedures for submitting projects – confirming that projects from previous years are also eligible, provided they have already been completed – and on how to prepare the presentation materials.
The valuable work of the working group, coordinated by CRE President Antonio Bramante, in support of the initiative was also highlighted.
It was clarified that the poster will be produced directly by the Secretariat, with the invaluable support of Club Vlaanderen, thus relieving participants of this organisational burden.
A well-attended and energetic meeting, which once again confirms the desire to collaborate and share valuable experiences within our network. Next meeting in two weeks’ time: keep following us for all the updates!
