As part of the dissemination programme in preparation for the European Week of Sport 2018, SportMalta organised a focus group meeting together with Malta Sport Journalist Associations. Various SportMalta departments together with the Associations top officials, discussed the communication campaign in order to get Malta more active.

Mark Cutajar,  Sport Malta Chief Executive Officer whilst thanking the journalist for their participation, said that they have a vital role to spread the message to tackle inactivity in all strata of society. He said that since the European Week of Sport started being organised, the percentage of Maltese doing physical activity improved. It can be a coincidence, he said but it may be not and probably this week is serving as a catalyst for more people to be involved. Latest Eurobarometer study published in March 2018 showed a significant improvement in the number of Maltese citizens doing sport, with Malta no longer being in the last three. Cutajar also invited the Association to nominate two journalists to join the core team working on this year’s edition.

Sandro Micallef, President of the Association said that journalists are fully supportive of this initiative. He also thanked SportMalta for proposing to them to be official partners of the event.  Micallef said that they are really keen to work hand in hand with SportMalta employees not only to disseminate the message but also to lead by example in certain events. We are sure, Micallef concluded, that this partnership could pay dividends to the cause.

During the meeting there were a number of presentations of the plan towards this events, these included presentation of the flagship event which will be held at Cottonera, the BeActive night event in Kirkop and other third party events organised by SportMalta’s associated members and the schools.

This was the second dissemination meeting organised by the national entity for sport and national coordinating body SportMalta. Last week another meeting gathered all local clubs ad associations. Following are meetings with Sport Associations in Gozo, physical educations teachers and local councils.

The European week of sport will be celebrated across Europe in September.

We, the T2MIS partners, invite all stakeholders to take the web by storm on 1^st of June with video and messages using #T2MIS official hashtag: #MakeLearningMobilityARealityInSport.

Why the 1^st of June 2018? Because we will officially launch the T2MIS online platform, a tool to help individuals and organisations active in their journey towards Learning Mobility.

Fuq inizjattiva tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sport, matul din is-sena skolastika ingħata bidu għall-proġett edukattiv bil-kollaborazzjoni tal-Kumitat Olimpiku Malti u bl-appoġġ tal-Ministeru għall-Edukazzjoni u x-xogħol.

Fi żjara li għamel waqt l-aħħar sessjoni ta’ din is-sena skolastika l-Ministru tal-Edukazzjoni u x-Xogħol Evarist Bartolo faħħar din l-inizjattiva li tikkumplimenta s-sistema tal-edukazzjoni prattika. Hu spjega li matul din is-sena skolastika saru b’kollox ħames żjarat fi skejjel imħallta bejn skejjel tal-Gvern, privati u anke tal-Knisja fejn ingħatat l-opportunita’ lill-istudenti li kienu jvarjaw mill-Form 3, 4 u 5 jesperjenzaw professjoni partikolari li forsi ftit li xejn tisemma’ bħala karriera possibbli li wieħed jista’ jimraħ fiiha.

Is-Segretarju Parlamentari għaż-Żgħażagħ, Sport u Għaqdiet tal-Volontarjat Clifton Grima inkoraġixxa lill-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports u lill-Kumitat Olimpiku Malti sabiex ikomplu jaħdmu flimkien b’ideat oħra wara s-suċċess ta’ dan il-proġett. Hu tenna li f’dan il-proġett l-istudenti qed jingħataw togħma tal-professjoni tal-ġurnalist tal-Isport, jifhmu aħjar l-irwol ta’ min jaħdem f’dan ix-xogħol kemm bħala xandar, ġurnalist fuq gazzetti, publikazzjonijiet, websites u social media li tant huma popolari fost din il-ġenerazzjoni żagħżugħa.

Il-President tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports Sandro Micallef rringrazzja lill-Ministeru tal-Edukazjoni tal-Koperazzjoni speċjalment lill-Education Officer tal-Edukazzjoni Fiżika Kevin Azzopardi li mill-ewwel offra l-appoġġ tiegħu għal din l-inizjattiva. Hu rringrazzja wkoll għall-koperazzjoni lill-Kapijiet tal-Iskejjel li fihom saru ż-żjarat preċedenti li kienu l-Iskola St Joseph Sliema, St Dorothy’s Żebbuġ, Middle School Birkirkara Kulleġġ Sta Tereża u St Martin’s College Swatar.

Micallef qal li l-Għaqda Ġuurnalisti Sports illum il-ġurnata ħadet dimensjoni oħra fis-settur tal-isport f’pajjiżna fejn b’inizjattivi bħal dawn qed tkompli tikkonferma ruħha bħala waħda mill-istakeholders indispensabbli fl-iżvilupp tal-Isport u tal-ġurnaliżmu f’pajjiżna.

Il-proġett kellu żewġ għanijiet prinċipali: li studenti fl-iskejjel tas-sekondarja jingħataw esperejenza permezz ta’ tagħlim bażiku fil-qasam tal-ġurnaliżmu sportiv u fl-istess ħin jsiru jafu aktar mill-viċin l-atleti Maltin billi jiltaqgħu magħhom u jsaqsuhom dwar il-karriera sportiva.

Il-proġett kien imfassal b’mod li t-teorija ma tieħux il-maġġoranza tal-ħin f’dawn is-sessjonijiet hekk kif l-istudenti qed ikun mgħejjuna fost l-oħrajn jfasslu, l-mistoqsijiet tagħhom qabel ma’ jagħmlu intervista, jfasslu artiklu għal fuq gazzzetta jew website, jagħmlu kummentarju u saħansitra mgħallma kif jaqraw l-aħbarijiet sportivi quddiem camera tat-televiżjoni vera u proprja.

Il-proġett kien ikkordinat minn żewġ għalliema tal-Edukazzjoni Fiżika Joanna Camilleri u Charlene Attard li huma eks atleti u li llum il-ġurnata huma ġurnalisti tal-Isport. Barra minn hekk Joanna Camilleri hija membru fl-Eżekuttiv tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports u Charlene Attard hija Direttur fi ħdan il-Kumitat Olimpiku Malti.

SportMalta tippreżenta total ta’ €1,049,738 f’għajnuniet finanzjarji lill-assoċjazzjonijiet u atleti individwali.

Is-Segretarju Parlamentari għaż-Żgħażagħ, Sport u Għaqdiet tal-Volontarjat Clifton Grima saħaq li permezz tal-assistenzi minn SportMalta, qed naraw li l-assoċjazzjonijiet u klabbs qed ikunu proattivi u qed jieħdu inizzjattivi biex jiġġeneraw dħul. Kien għalhekk li l-Gvern ħaseb biex idaħħal il-liġi ta’ kummerċjalizazzjoni ta’ artijiet sportivi sabiex jagħti liberta regolata lill-klabbs u assoċjazzjonijiet biex jużaw l-artjiet fdati lilhom mill-Gvern biex ikomplu jkabbru l-likwidita u jużawha biex l-isport tagħhom jikber.

B’kollox kienu 118-il atleta u assoċjazzjoni li bbenefikaw minn assistenza finanzjarja matul din is-sena.

SportMalta torganizza erba’ ċerimonji sabiex l-assoċjazzjonijiet sportivi u l-atleti ma jkollhomx jistennew żmien twil għall-assistenza finanzjarja. Dawn huma parti mir-riforma ta’ SportMalta għall-benefiċċju tal-assoċjazzjonijiet u federazzjonijiet, biex b’hekk tagħtihom aktar ċertezza biex jippjanaw finanzjarjament.

Waqt l-istess ċeremonja ġew ippreżentati wkoll 30 ċertifikat lill-kowċis u ħaddiema ta’ SportMalta li spiċċaw il-Kors tal-First Aid b’suċċess. Dan il-kors ġie mfassal sabiex il-ħaddiema u kowċis dejjem ikunu kapaċi jassistu persuni f’diffikulta fiżika waqt xi attivita’ sportiva u anke fuq il-post tax-xogħol.
