On July 30th, the President’s Committee of Panathlon International held an online meeting – an important opportunity for discussion and planning before the traditional August break.

During the meeting, the members reviewed the KPI (Key Performance Indicator) reports to be submitted to the IOC, covering both ongoing activities for 2025 and the final report for the previous year.

Several important topics were addressed, including the revision of the Statutory Charters, the situation in the District Ecuador following the resignation of its President, the possible re-establishment of the District Chile, and the Secretariat’s renewed commitment to managing the translations (using AI for the first time) of the official Magazine. This will be done with the crucial support and collaboration of volunteer members who have offered to proofread the translations in various languages. The proposal to organize new webinars was also discussed.

Among the highlighted projects, there was a discussion about Ethos Universitas, an initiative launched by University Panathlon Clubs with the goal of building a network among universities that share the ethical values of sport – a project that confirms PI’s strong commitment to the academic world.

The President’s Committee also approved several sponsorship requests received for numerous international initiatives, reflecting the growing relevance and visibility of Panathlon International on a global scale. In particular, the President announced a collaboration with RelazionExpo 2025, an event that will be held in Verona. Panathlon International will play a leading role with a conference on October 26th, during which partnerships with FICTS, Hikikomori Italia, One-Ocean Foundation, and the Milano-Cortina Foundation will be presented.

Significant attention was given to planning the upcoming conference in collaboration with the Musketeers, scheduled for February 12th, 2026, at the Lombardy Region headquarters, before the Milano-Cortina Olympic Games. The theme – highly topical – will focus on the challenges of Artificial Intelligence applied to sport.

The meeting included a discussion of the major upcoming international event to be held in Ghent from June 4–7, 2026, where Panathlon International will be a key player with a rich program: Ordinary and Extraordinary Assembly, International Congress, 75th Anniversary celebrations, the Communication Award ceremony in memory of Henrique Nicolini, and the prestigious Flambeau d’Or in memory of Antonio Spallino, as well as numerous institutional meetings to be held on-site.

Finally, the institutional calendar for the post-summer period was updated, with revised dates for some official meetings and several engagements scheduled from September onwards. Among them: a meeting during the event organized by the Panathlon Club Brussels EU on September 24th, with top officials from the European Commission’s Sports Unit and several Members of the European Parliament; a meeting with the District France attended by Past-President Pierre Zappelli; the awarding of the Panathlon International – CSIT World Games Prize in October, given to international figures who have demonstrated exemplary careers grounded in sporting ethics; and participation in the Pan American Congress in Chihuahua (Mexico).

It was a meeting rich in content and prospects, confirming Panathlon International’s vitality and its ability to generate new initiatives that promote the values of sport worldwide.

PRESS RELEASE

Panathlon International (PI), a cultural and sporting association active in 31 countries across 4 continents, is launching a major international project focused on social inclusion, youth mental health, and the promotion of sports values.

The International President, Giorgio Chinellato, together with the new International Board, has made the Hikikomori Project one of the strategic priorities at the start of his mandate. The initiative is in collaboration with Hikikomori Italia ETS (HI), the national reference organization for awareness and intervention regarding the phenomenon of youth social withdrawal.

Sports and Culture as a Response to Youth Distress

The project stems from a desire to provide concrete tools to address a growing global issue affecting thousands of adolescents and young adults who gradually isolate themselves from social, educational, and professional life.

The Japanese term hikikomori – now internationally recognized – describes a complex condition that requires a multidisciplinary and coordinated response.

In this context, sport is proposed as a privileged vehicle for rebuilding relationships, restoring self-esteem, and reconnecting young people with their communities.

Thanks to its widespread network of clubs and its strong ethical and cultural mission, Panathlon International is an ideal partner to promote a concrete and coordinated approach at the local level.

Contents of the Agreement

The collaboration between PI and HI has been formalized through a three-year memorandum of understanding, which includes:

Awareness and outreach campaigns via Panathlon’s official channels (newsletters, press releases, social media, and publications) targeted at members, club leaders, schools, families, and institutions;

Direct involvement of Panathlon Clubs in the implementation of local initiatives, school projects, information campaigns, and educational activities aimed at young people and their families;

Participation in cultural events, conferences, webinars, and roundtable discussions organized by PI’s Commission for Culture, Science, and Education;

Scientific and technical support from Hikikomori Italia ETS through the provision of informational materials, expert involvement, promotion of support groups, and sharing of best practices already active in Italy;

Both organizations also commit to ensuring mutual communication and visibility by integrating logos and links across their official channels.

The shared goal is to expand the project internationally, involving, where possible, other institutional partners and like-minded organizations in countries where Panathlon International operates.

"This agreement represents a concrete step toward social responsibility in sports. We want our clubs to become sensitive antennas in their communities, capable of identifying youth distress and turning it into a journey of recovery through sport, culture, and human connection," said President Giorgio Chinellato.

Marco Crepaldi, psychologist and President of Hikikomori Italia ETS, also expressed enthusiasm for the initiative:

"I thank Panathlon International for its sensitivity to mental health issues, and especially to the topic of voluntary social withdrawal. Their support will be essential in advancing our mission."

On July 3, 2025, FIMBA and Panathlon International presented the Fair Play Award during the Eduardo Award Ceremony, held at the official dinner of the 17th Maxibasketball World Championship, which took place in Ticino, Switzerland, in 2025.

The award was presented by Mr. Stefano Giulieri, Vice President of Panathlon International; Mr. Rubén Rodríguez Lamas, member of the Arbitration Board of Panathlon International; and Mr. Jorge Minuto, President of the Argentine District, in honor of the Angolan women’s national team, celebrating its 40th anniversary. This marked the first Fair Play Award received in Africa from these two institutions.

Representatives from 50 countries attended and listened attentively to the speech given by the Vice President of Panathlon International.

The agreement between Panathlon International and FIMBA for the award ceremony sparked interest from several countries, allowing concerns and requests from all five continents to be gathered.

Venerdì 25 Luglio Gorizia/Nova Gorica alle 17:30 nella Piazza della Transalpina/Trg Evrope i rappresentanti dei Panathlon Club del Kärnten (Michael Ausserwinkler) , del Friuli Venezia Giulia (Andrea Ceccotti) e della Slovenija (Miran Müllner), hanno firmato una dichiarazione congiunta di cooperazione e di lancio di un concorso di idee.

Con loro i sindaci dei comuni dei tre confini Reinhard Antolitsch (Arnoldstein), Henrika Zupan (Kranjska gora) e Renzo Zanette (Tarvisio).

I Panathlon club del Friuli erano ben rappresentati, con Margherita Alciati del Panathlon Udine, Andrea Volpe presidente del Panathlon Gorizia e Roberto Palmieri del Panathlon Alto Friuli, mentre per Trieste Muggia era presente Matteo Contessa con diversi soci. Graditissima la partecipazione Del presidente di Ansmes (stelle al merito sportivo)

Il Presidente del Panathlon International, avv. Giorgio Chinellato, ha inviato le sue congratulazioni per l’iniziativa che si inserisce pienamente nella progettualità panathletica e annunciato il patrocinio. Il Presidente del Panathlon distretto Italia, Giorgio Costa, ne ha sottolineato l’importanza particolarmente in questo momento.

È un gesto che prosegue il grande messaggio lanciato da GO!2025, possibile grazie all’appoggio dei sindaci Samo Turel e Rodolfo Ziberna e dell’ospitalità della ASD LIBERTAS UDINE, organizzatrice del “Jumping Overcoming Boudaries”.

Crocevia da sempre di popoli, lingue e culture, scrigno di eccellenze uniche, il territorio di Gorizia è l’esempio concreto di come un confine, testimone delle tragedie del ‘900, oggi si sia trasformato in un elemento di coesione e collaborazione internazionale. È un risultato incredibile quello che Gorizia insieme a Nova Gorica ha ottenuto con GO! 2025, la prima Capitale europea della cultura transfrontaliera della storia. Un passo alla volta si è riusciti a far vincere il dialogo sullo scontro, la pace sulla guerra, il futuro delle giovani generazioni sui rancori del passato.

Il concorso di idee,  aperto a ad artisti, architetti, designer, studenti, scuole, associazioni culturali e sportive ed anche a cittadini – per proposte per la realizzazione di una rappresentazione, visibile e accessibile, del ruolo di sport e cultura nella costruzione della coesistenza.

Il luogo deputato è il monte Dreiländereck,-Tromeja- Forno. Luogo dove si incontrano tre grandi stirpi europee e che da confine di divisione, è divenuto punto di incontro, collaborazione e visione condivisa.

Il progetto è un invito a ricordare che “la  pace è un processo attivo”, al quale sport e cultura di comunità che, dopo un passato tragico di guerre e sofferenze,  collaborano quotidianamente, nel rispetto reciproco delle peculiarità di ciascuno.

Il bando con le modalità di partecipazione verrà pubblicato nei siti del Panathlon:  https://panathlon-fvg.it/ – https://kaernten-panathlon.at/ –  https://alpeadriasport.org/ – https://www.panathlondistrettoitalia.it/ – https://www.panathlon-international.org/ –

L’iniziativa si avvia nel 2025, anno che vede l’anniversario di iniziative sportive nello spirito di “Alpe-Adria”:

• 45º anniversario della nascita dello SKI TOUR3, il primo evento sportivo che per un giorno cancellava i confini tra Austria, Italia e Slovenia;

• 40º anniversario della firma della proposta di candidatura congiunta per i Giochi Olimpici Invernali da parte dei sindaci di Villach, Jesenice e Tarvisio;

• 30º anniversario della prima candidatura ai Giochi Olimpici Invernali “Senza Confini” accettata dal CIO.

Si concluderà nel 2028  in coincidenza con momenti storici dell’Europa:

• 80 anni dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale;

• 40 anni dalla firma dell’Accordo di Schengen e dalla creazione della bandiera dell’UE;

• 30 anni dall’ingresso dell’Austria e 21 anni dall’ingresso della Slovenia nella UE

E nel primo semestre la presidenza del Consiglio dell’UE sarà assunta da uno dei nostri tre paesi: l’Italia.

Conferencia sobre los nuevos avances en Ciencia y Tecnologia

Relator : Camila Arango experta en marketing estratégico y transformación digital

Hoy visitamos la Escuela Nº 63 de Corte de la Leña, la cuarta institución que forma parte de la etapa presencial de nuestro programa 2025 PANATHLON: Caminando junto a los niños.

Como en cada encuentro, nos esperaban con alegría los alumnos, maestra y el personal de la escuela, siempre dispuestos a escucharnos, compartir, y recibir con entusiasmo el mensaje que llevamos.

En esta oportunidad, trabajamos sobre la alimentación saludable, realizamos un juego lúdico con el logo del PANATHLON y contamos con la presencia especial del instructor de Taekwondo Marcos Borjas, quien compartió sus experiencias, distintas formas de practicar esta disciplina y muchos aprendizajes más.

Queremos agradecer de forma muy especial a los socios que hoy nos acompañaron: Ivanna, Loreley, Elena, Silvia, Carlos, Ruben, Álvaro, Enrique y Carlos. También a Florencia, funcionaria de La Asistencial, uno de nuestros sponsors, quien se sumó con entusiasmo a las actividades y dejó unos regalitos que hicieron muy felices a los niños.

Agradecemos profundamente a todos nuestros sponsors, sin cuyo apoyo sería imposible llevar adelante este proyecto:

La Asistencial, Mercado Alemán, Nativa, Enjoy, Canal 11 y la Intendencia de Maldonado.

Nos volvimos con el corazón lleno de alegría, con la energía renovada y las ganas intactas para seguir adelante. 

En agosto comienza la segunda etapa del programa, en formato virtual, y ya nos estamos preparando para seguir caminando juntos.
