"We show you what we do; what experiens we have; what we feel and  how we share!"

PATHE means knowledge, experience, planning, managing, development, dissemination, promotion, help, work, examples and commitment. When we build up knowledge and experience in planning, managing and developing an area within a Sport for All activity, it is challenge to keep ourself in a continues developing mode and stay in the market in the future. We see PATHE as a platform to handle this challenge. Enjoy the Pathe video by clicking here

The »Diary of my Health«, PATHE product of 2009, is the manual about physical activity, health, nutrition, »green activities«, fair play and even more.

The diary was presented on the last ISCA General Assembly.

Miro Ukmar, President Sports Union of Slovenia:
“Diary of my health” is the product of the Slovene national project  “Healthy Clubs”  which support healthy programs and physical activity in the clubs, local communities and  individual life. The Diary gives you the support and a good way for developing your personal way for healthy lifestyle, to know the advantage of the daily physical activity, healthy nutrition and how to maintain properly physically weight. Diary of my health is prepared professionally and it leads you to the healthy lifestyle, help you to monitor the progress and encourage you to insist in the program. And now in PATHE project the Diary transformed from “national” product  into “international “ product. Enjoy reading and enjoy doing sport! ” 

The Diary is available in a downloadable PDF version and 500 copies were printed. »Diary of my health« is now accessible in ISCA office for all ISCA members. Write us on info@isca-web.org  and you will get your personal copy.

ISCA thanks Sports Union of Slovenia, who developed the Diary and  gave the rights to ISCA to translate, design and publish it.

ISCA President, Mogens Kirkeby, will in the beginning of the new year invite key international stakeholders in health and sport to change »sport for all theory« into practice by giving the »Diary of my health« as a present and a personal challenge!

These key persons will be invited to do sport, to run, to swim, to walk, and to fill in the “Diary of my health”. The challenge will be open from 1st of January until 30th of June 2010, and after this the diaries will be “compared” in a friendly competition to highlight the importance of physical activity to health.

The challenge is to be able to give the following statement the 30th of June 2010:

"Yes, I am in better physical shape than I was 1st of January 2010!"
 

The names of the persons in the “Friendly Challenge” will be announced on the ISCA web site in January 2010.

The PATHE Seminar 2009 was held in Copenhagen from 24th to 26th of October. It was organised under the ethos of alliance “for” and “with” PATHE Associate Partners, ISCA office and other PATHE partners.

The aim was to inspire,  motivate, learn of the good examples and exchange information about our work on the political level in order to inspire and motivate the »designers« of national strategies for health and find the answer to the question “how to implement national strategy in the association working strategy” in the world of health and physical activity.

»Cooperation between NGOs and GOs«

UISP from Italy and Montenegro Sport for All Association have met on the Consultation meeting in September 2009 in Podgorica in Montenegro with the intention to create and develop cooperation primarily in the fields of sport for all and also to realize and upgrade their own set of criteria for status to the NGOs acting in the areas of sport, health, education and international cooperation.

The year is coming to an end and this is a time when we can be close to our families, friends and colleagues. And it is also a time when we look back, evaluate the work done and think about our business partners and friends who helped us achieve everything we are rightfully proud of.
 
New Year's Day,  is the first day of the year and is an occasion that witnesses the biggest annual celebration across all countries of the world. It is the time when we ring out the old year and welcome the present year with open arms, with eyes filled with new dreams and hearts replete with new expectations.

Lets open new book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day and the second chapter is » Be Active, Do Sport«.

We wish you holidays filled with joy and lots of happiness, health and satisfaction and of course business success in the year to come.

Happy New Year!
