A video for Milan Cortina 2026: the initiative of Panathlon International
Published in News from Panathlon International
On the occasion of the upcoming Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Panathlon International is pleased to present, on the official opening day of the Games, a video that uses powerful images to interpret Olympic values as a universal language of inclusion, respect and passion for sport.
This contribution comes from the heart of the Panathletic movement, in the hope that it will serve as an evocative backdrop to certain competitions, ideally accompanying athletes and the public during the most intense and emotional moments of the events.
We therefore invite you to ensure the widest possible dissemination of this video, so that its message can reach and engage the entire community.
We extend our sincere thanks to the president of the Panathlon Club Perugia, Luca Ginetto, for his valuable support.

Milan hosts the first international symposium on ‘Olympic Values and Artificial Intelligence’
Milan, 12 February 2026 – From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Palazzo Lombardia will host the joint international symposium ‘Olympic Values and Artificial Intelligence’, a high-level event dedicated to dialogue between sport, ethics and technological innovation.
Promoted by ISOH, CIPC, CIFP and Panathlon International, the symposium will explore the role of artificial intelligence in research, education, innovation and ethical governance, with a focus on the implications for the Olympic Movement and the training of new generations. The event will take place in person and will be broadcast online to encourage international participation.
Three thematic panels will address the following topics:
1. Education in Olympic values and AI – with experts such as Hilla Davidov and Stephan Wassong
2. Ethical and responsible AI – with Emanuele Frontoni, Bianca Gama Pena and Pierre Zappelli; moderated by Izabella de Bessenyey.
3. Preserving and disseminating Olympic heritage through AI – with Sabine Haller-Neumann and Christian Wacker.
The event will be moderated by Gary Rhodes (California State University, Dominguez Hills) and will feature the participation of representatives from the IOC.
The Milan symposium represents the natural evolution of a process that began during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, when the four organisations decided to collaborate to strengthen Olympic values, support education, promote peace and preserve the historical memory of the Olympic Movement.
The press conference will take place at 5 p.m. in the Biagi Room, Core 4, with accreditation available on site.

The Erasmus+ project ‘You Lead’ gets off to a successful start
Published in News from Panathlon International
The first day of the kick-off meeting held in Rome was a great success, officially launching the Erasmus+ You Lead project. All the international partners were present at the meeting, gathering to share the first steps of the project and plan future activities.
The PI was represented by International President Giorgio Chinellato, Fabio Figueiras, member of the CCRC, Simona Callo, Secretary General, Lorenzo D'Ilario, President of Club Roma Junior, and Monica Rossi, General Secretariat.
The partners were also greeted by the Governor of the Area Lazio, Cesare Sagrestani, who brought his message of welcome and support for the project.
The You Lead project was created to address one of the main challenges facing the European sports system: promoting greater participation by young people and women in decision-making and governance processes.
In an atmosphere of collaboration and enthusiasm, the various work packages to be developed over the next 30 months, at the end of which the project will come to a close, were analysed.
A positive start that lays solid foundations for a shared and high-impact work programme at European level.

Le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles est partenaire des « Territoires de la Mémoire » pour l’exposition Podium organisée en Belgique (Liège) jusqu’au 10 mai 2026.
Un article rédigé par Kolë Gjeloshaj, Président, et Kathleen Monseu, Coordinatrice générale et consacré au « Fair-Play pour une société éclairée » s’inscrit dans la revue « Aide-mémoire » des Territoires de la Mémoire - https://aidememoire.be/106/le-fair-play-pour-une-societe-eclairee/ .
« Territoires de la Mémoire » est un centre d’éducation à la résistance et à la citoyenneté, fondé en 1993 par d’anciens prisonniers politiques rescapés des camps nazis, en réaction à la résurgence de l’extrême droite en Belgique. Depuis lors, l’association développe des projets et mène des actions de sensibilisation, fondées notamment sur le travail de mémoire, afin de lutter contre les idéologies haineuses et de promouvoir une société démocratique, libre et solidaire.
L’exposition « Podium » illustre que le sport, omniprésent dans nos sociétés, reflète à la fois certaines dérives sociales et des valeurs positives. Il peut devenir un espace de pouvoir, de discriminations ou de propagande, mais aussi un lieu de joie, de dépassement de soi et d’expression collective. L’exposition propose d’aborder le sport comme un terrain où le pire peut émerger, mais où le courage, le respect, le Fair-Play, l’humilité, l’équité, la solidarité et l’esprit d’équipe ouvrent surtout la voie à l’espoir et à une société plus démocratique.
La rencontre entre les « Territoires de la Mémoire » et le Panathlon Wallonie-Bruxelles était écrite dans les gènes de ces deux Institutions.
