In Nove Mesto na Morave, 112 athletes from all the 14 regions of the Czech Republic competed in four classes (W14, W16, M14 and M16) in three races – Sprint and Middle distance and two-person Mixed Relay. In the W/M16 classes, Martina Wankova and Ondrej Stary from the Photos: Dusan Vystavel Region of Hradec Kralove became the Queen and King of Ski Orienteering. Veronika Gallova and Stepan Nemecek from the Region of Liberec dominated the W/M14 classes.

Course planner Petr Marecek prepared three demanding races in these difficult conditions. “This is the first time that orien- Sarka Plhalova (W14) concen- teering has had an opportunity to trating before the sprint race. become a part of the Youth Olympic Winter Day. Many thanks go to Radan Kamenicky, President of the Czech Orienteering Federation, and to the Vice-president Ivan Mateju, who both worked a lot to make this happen. 112 young athletes took part in the events. Radan Kamenicky as the Event Direc- tor managed to negotiate the number of 8 competitors and 2 coaches from each region, which was the same as the number for traditional sports – cross-country skiing or biathlon. It is unbelievable that orienteering – which is not an Olympic sport yet – is the only one sport that is a part of the programme of both summer and winter Youth Olympic Days in Czech Republic. We, the Czech Orienteering Federation, will try to do our best to ensure that orienteering remains a part of these Games,” said Dusan Vystavel, a member of the Czech Orienteering Federation Board and the Chairman of the European Working Group. www.orienteering.org INSIDE ORIENTEERING | 3 World Masters Orienteering Championships in Brazil: “Good terrain for veterans, different technical challenges from race to race” The last issue of Inside Orienteering (December 2013) contained a wealth the Event Centre in the city of Porto of travel and tourist information and advice regarding going to Brazil in Alegre on Saturday 1st November, on which day there will also be a Sprint November for this year’s World Masters Orienteering Championships model event.

  • Centrally Manageable System for Public Sector Sports Grant's
    Centrally Manageable System for Public Sector Sports Grant’s Distribution to Children and Youth Sport Clubs Abstract Research questions: What kind of system would be the best for financing children and youth sport (CYS)? Research methods: As a first step, we identify the most relevant aspects that have or may have influence on the unavoidable costs of sports. Secondly, we investigate less studied aspects like the costs of sports per practitioner and families’ ability to cover these costs, relaying on the data from 947 annual financial reports of CYS clubs from 2012 – 2016 and data about private persons’ annual income by quintiles from Statistics Estonia. Thirdly, by relying on the results of this study and previous studies, we propose a model for CYS financing. Results and findings: The quality and capacity of trainings for children determine the extent and height of entire sports pyramid. Results of previous research and findings of this study suggest that the centrally manageable system that takes into account impact of resource dependency and population density, costs of sports and sport levels and also income level and structure of families is the best possible solution for CYS financing. Implications: The proposed model guarantees efficient and targeted distribution of public grants, balanced financing of CYS, and reduces exclusion from sport due to financial and demographic reasons. However, a survey for identifying the needs of sports should be carried out before implementing sych a distribution system. For keeping grants’ distribution fair, the survey is recommended to repeat periodically. Keywords: Children and youth sport, sport financing, supports’ distribution, Estonia Introduction Several EU and world level recommendations suggest for children to be physically active at least one hour every day (WHO, 2010; EU, 2008).

  • The History of Youth Work in Estonia 18
    The history of youth work in by Marti Taru, Eli Pilve and Peeter Kaasik Estonia Introduction he main goal of this chapter is to Tchart briefly the most important moments in the development of youth work in Estonia, from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. As we move across the years we shall see how youth work transformed from voluntary and spontaneous activity to a state- controlled tool for ideological condi- tioning, and then to providing young people with the opportunity to acquire various (life) skills and competences. Estonian history of the last 150 years can be divided into five fairly distinct periods, all of which have witnessed developments in the field of youth work: • the national awakening before national independence, 1860s to 1918: prehis- tory of youth work; • the democratic period of the first inde- pendence, 1918 to 1940: the beginning of organised youth work within the edu- cation system, the authoritarian period of the first independence and emergence of state-controlled youth work; • the beginning of Soviet occupation, the Second World War and youth work under the German occupation, 1942 4 to 1944; 16 • the Soviet occupation, 1945 to 1989: explosive increase in youth work opportunities as a tool for ideological socialisation; • the restoration of independence and independent statehood, 1990 onwards: youth work as developmental experience, and contemporary methods of youth work. The prehistory of youth work: national awakening and civic activism The second half of the 19th century, during which time Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire with local government run by a nobility of German background, witnessed the rise of Estonian societies, which were founded all over the coun- try.
