Belgrade (“the white city”) in Central Serbia, one of Europe’s oldest cities,lies at the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers.  “Gateway to the Balkans” or “Gateway to Europe,”  reborn after a recent past of wars, it is today an avant-garde capital, where new ideas, novelties and vitality brew in the fields of art, economy, architecture. and also sports. Last 12-13 May, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of its foundation, the College of Sports and Health, a certified institution with 600 students, organised an international conference entitled “Sports, recreation, health.” Sportmeet was among the guests invited by Prof. Alexander Ivanovski, also as the expression in the world of sports of that social and spiritual renewal that originated from the experience of the Focolare: a global network of sports lovers, professional and amateur sportsmen and women, teachers, instructors, journalists, managers and operators of the sports business, who live sports as a positive reality for the discussion and exchange of ideas, and as an occasion not only to work up one’s body, but also for universal brotherhood and inclusion. Paolo Cipolli, Sportmeet President, at the conference with a Serb-Croatian delegation entitled his speech Sports moves people and moves ideas. The “sports phenomenon” is one of the more complex, interesting and compelling realities of our time, involving 800 million practitioners, five million sports associations, 205 national federations, and members of the International Olympics Committee, 208 of which belong to the International Soccer Association. Considering that “only” 192 nations are part of the UN, its weight and omnipresence, like a sort of planetary power, or as some say a “new religion” is obvious. It is an area of infinite economic interest, but sad to say, also of delinquency, while on the contrary, sports can become a “training ground” for brotherhood, unity and integration – a universal “language of gestures” that brings down barriers, obstacles and diversities. In Belgrade, the clean aspect of sports was staged. Among the many speeches on the various aspects connected to the role and potential of sports in the promotion of health, a common consideration emerged among experts and teachers from Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia and Bulgaria: the need to define new policies for a full valorisation of sports in view of a correct lifestyle, and all the possible forms of integration, especially among the youth. The conference was the occasion to establish new relationships and an agreed protocol in view of future cooperation, giving value to important experiences already underwaysuch as the use of games in some cases of youth hospitality. After Belgrade, Sportmeet is now focused on the next steps, social inclusion, sports education, integration of the people with diverse abilities and relationship between generationsto be undertaken from 13 – 16 July in Spain. In these four days of sports testimonies, and starting from the international symposium of Barcelona (at the Palau Roberton 13 July),operators will discuss with one another, regarding theholding of a Summer School in Castel d’Aro, some hundred kilometers from the Catalunyan capital. Promoted in cooperation with other local partners, among which is the UniversitatAutònoma de Barcelona, it will be a rich programme to make people aware of inclusive sports and good sportive practice – with the dream that “sports” may really become synonymous to “encounter” at all levels.
