We have tried to introduce topics which we believed would be very relevant for our members in your development and we have tried to friendly suggest and push for considering these topics – better sooner than later. Let me give a few examples: Sport and Health Initiated and driven by our Vice President Herbert Hartmann ISCA suggested its members more than 10 years ago to con- sider the focus on the health angles of Sport for All. Herbert Hartmann had organizational experiences from the German Gymnastics Federation with this theme and beside that he saw strong indications both from a citizens’ perspective and from a societal perspective that the health elements of sport would play a bigger role on each of the two agendas. So from 2004 an onwards we have pushed the Sport and Health agenda and assisted capacity building, knowledge-sharing and not least advocacy. The Inactivity Time Bomb advocacy is inspired by a cam- paign run by StreetGames (UK) who calculated the figures of lifetimes societal cost for less privileged young people not Good Governance in Grassroots sport being physical active. Our data was different – but as simple. We asked the Centre for Economics and Business Research Another topic we introduced at - what seemed to be and early to find the financial and human costs of inactivity in Europe. stage for many members - was the topic of Good Governance Based on these alarming figures of €80bn and 500.000 lost in Grassroots sport.
