Did it make sense once again to bring together leading experts and stakeholders from all corners of the world, people who may already have met several times a year in sport’s reg- ular circuit of meetings and events to discuss the same overarching issues? At a time where all sports political taboos seem to be broken, thanks to earlier Play the Game conferences amongst others, could Play the Game once again serve as a refreshing and stimulating forum for dealing with sensitive and difficult issues? It may come as no surprise that we as organizers believe that the answer to those questions is “yes”. It is a subjective answer, but nevertheless supported by the more credible state- ments delivered by over half of the conference participants in an anonymous survey, as well as expressed in numerous emails received after the conference. By all measures, this conference was a success. Even if the conference organizers tend to believe that in terms of quality and quantity there has been little difference between the 2015 and 2013 conferences, a great number of dele- gates with experience from previous years have declared the 2015 conference the most suc- cessful to this date. The following is an internal evaluation and does not pretend to give a completely objective picture of Play the Game 2015. We do however wish to gather and publish our reflections on the outcome of this considerable investment of time, money and other limited resources, partly in order to give our donors a chance to assess whether their contribution was worthwhile, and partly to collect lessons learned with a view to create better conferences in the future. We shall do our best to support our subjective reflections with various kinds of evidence and hope you will find the reading interesting. The overall observations are as follows: Even at a time of great public awareness of international sports politics, perhaps particularly so, there is a need for an independent forum where a wide range of the Play the Game 5 www.playthegame.org main challenges to sport are put under spotlight through a comprehensive, fact- based, focused and multi-stakeholder-based approach. The conference showed that the need for public, open and unrestricted dialogue is particularly relevant at a time where international sport bodies are met with wide- spread skepticism and mistrust. With the growing engagement in sport events and institutions shown by authoritarian states, the need for open debate becomes even more obvious in order to bridge the gap between public perception of sport and how decision-makers in sport see their role. Emphasizing the importance of whistleblowers in sport from the very opening of the conference seemed to have some effect on the post-conference debate in relation to the WADA report on doping in Russia/IAAF. The Skype conversation with the Stepanov couple (re IAAF) and the presentation by Bonita Mersiades (re FIFA) added a human element to the overall sports political deliberations, engaging par- ticipants from the start. The debate at the historic Elsinore Theatre between FIFA presidential candidates, experts and stakeholders is pointed out as a highlight in many individual com- ments. Moreover, the interest from the candidates shows that Play the Game is now established as a forum you want to be seen in, in remarkable contrast to earlier years where there was a perceived political risk in accepting our invitations. The feedback from the participants is once again overwhelmingly positive. 97% de- clare that their overall impression of Play the Game 2015 is “good” or “very good”, and it is remarkable that the score for “very good” now exceeds 60%. Considering the above mentioned questions it is even more comforting that 86% find that the conference gives value to their daily work “to a high extent” or “to some extent”. It was a risk to operate with up to five parallel sessions in order to accommodate all presentations and wishes from previous years to have more room for debate. For- tunately, on a few exceptions, all parallel sessions had a sufficient crowd and a rea- sonable thematic flow. Still, the number of presentations and sessions is one of the factors that many participants regard as challenging. Aarhus served as an excellent host city, offering generous support and excellent co- operation, both in the overall planning at municipality level and through the vari- ous institutions that the conference visited or involved otherwise in the pro- gramme. The number of 345 participants was one short of the total number in 2013 and thus still at a satisfying level. On top of to that are an estimated 40-50 guests or media representatives who paid brief visits without necessarily officially registering. With more time in the planning process it should be possible to reach 400-450 partici- Play the Game 6 www.playthegame.org pants, but it is no end in itself to see the conference

  • Information About Economic Free Place Grant
    Daginstitutionstakster og økonomisk fripladstilskud/engelsk Information about economic free place grant Information about economic free place grant As a parent in Denmark you have to pay for child care. It could be a daycare institution or after school care. In Rudersdal Municipality there are 11 months of parent payments every year with the month of July as a month without payment. The current charges for the different child-care offers can be found at: https://www.rudersdal.dk/infosider/takster-i-boerneinstitutioner?s=takster+daginstitution Economic free place grant Parents with incomes below a certain limit may apply for an extra grant to finance a child-care offer. This is what we call an economic free place grant. Worth knowing about economic free place grant Applications for grants should be received in the Citizen Service Centre on the last weekday of the month in order that a grant may be provided for the subsequent month. The size of the grant is not fixed. It is appropriated on the basis of the family’s total income. You may therefore see that the grant is changing from month to month if there are changes in your income. The final regulation of the economic free place grant takes place at the end of each year. The Citizen Service Centre is informed about changes in your income from SKAT - the Danish tax authorities. In this connection a letter will be sent which you receive in your e-box. Therefore it is important that you read your digital mail. In the event of permanent changes in your income, you should apply again.

  • User Experience Statements
    User Experiences Akademiska Hus, Stockholm “MicroShade provides us with both light and a view to the outside, which we didn't have with our previous solar shading solution, which was an external screen. Previously, we had to fully close it when the sun was out, both because of the heat but also because the sun shone directly into the offices. With MicroShade, the sun's direct, penetrating rays are blocked and only allows daylight inside the building. So now we can see out of the window, rather than just be looking at a screen during summer. MicroShade has opened the room up, much to our delight,” says Anders Blomquist, Infrastructure Manager, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The building, leased by KTH, is owned by Akademiska Hus. Malling School, Aarhus Architect Gorm Albertsen, who is responsible for schools and institutions in Aarhus Municipality, says: “Our own measurements confirm that the sun’s impact on the temperature has been significantly reduced using MicroShade, in some cases from 30 down to 25.5 degrees. It used to be boiling hot in the sun and it could be difficult to read what was written on the blackboard. The problem has been solved and everyone's a lot more comfortable.” PKF Munkebo Vindelev, Copenhagen “I'm sitting close to the window in a south-facing office. With MicroShade installed I can sit 'directly' in the sun with a full view outside and without being blinded by glare when I work on the computer,” says Kasper Vindelev, Certified Auditor, PKF Munkebo Vindelev.

  • The Influence of Political Structures and Local Community Engagement on Placemaking in Train Stations a Case Study of Glostrup M
    The influence of political structures and local community engagement on placemaking in train stations A case study of Glostrup Multifunctional Station Sustainable Cities Thesis Aalborg University of Copenhagen Mohammad Ghannam Study No. 2094407 Date: October 2th, 2019 Abstract Traditionally the development of a train station focuses on transportation manners for commuters. The challenge in modern train stations is the quality of the public space, which adds value to citizens through sustainable measures. It is crucial to strengthen participation for better development of train stations. There is a lack of involvement, and throughout the thesis, it is demonstrated that the argument is two- folded. The first one is local, about local development, inclusion, and achieving locally sustainable objectives. The other is about the system level. In order to handle the urbanization, new ways of governing are fundamental to achieve an optimal train station that comprehends all aspects of the transportation system. In a paradigm of transport where time-travel is at the center, there is not enough focus on the quality of the trip as a whole for people. The quality of the space is affected by the existing infrastructure that puts some limitations on the recreation of the place. Other challenging aspects of urban spaces, at the stations, are better transport modes, energy-efficiency, pollution reduction and policy framework. The focus on train stations is relevant for the development of sustainable cities since it offers quality of life, efficient connectivity, optimal and innovative use of public spaces and reduction of human footprint. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the influence of the political structure and the local community concerning strengthening placemaking in train stations.

  • Mimicking News How the Credibility of an Established Tabloid Is Used When Disseminating Racism
    NORDICOM REVIEW Mimicking News How the credibility of an established tabloid is used when disseminating racism Johan FarkasI & Christina NeumayerII I School of Arts and Communication, Malmö University, Sweden II Digital Design Department, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract This article explores the mimicking of tabloid news as a form of covert racism, relying on the credibility of an established tabloid newspaper. The qualitative case study focuses on a digital platform for letters to the editor, operated without editorial curation pre-publication from 2010 to 2018 by one of Denmark’s largest newspapers, Ekstra Bladet. A discourse analysis of the 50 most shared letters to the editor on Facebook shows that nativist, far- right actors used the platform to disseminate fear-mongering discourses and xenophobic conspiracy theories, disguised as professional news and referred to as articles. These pro- cesses took place at the borderline of true and false as well as racist and civil discourse. At this borderline, a lack of supervision and moderation coupled with the openness and visual design of the platform facilitated new forms of covert racism between journalism and user-generated content. Keywords: racism, letters to the editor, borderline discourse, digital journalism, fake news Introduction Publish your own text on the biggest news website. The People’s Voice is for people who are passionate about a cause – and want to say their piece.
