Welcome to issue number 44 of the ICSSPE Bulletin
where we are delighted to present an exciting and comprehensive feature
on the World Summit on Physical Education and the developments 5 years
on.
But first I would like to introduce myself, my name is Amandeep Chima
and although my origin is Indian I have been born and raised in England
and settled in Berlin for the last 5 years. Coming from a scientific
and publishing background I am pleased to be taking over from my well
respected predecessor Tamie Devine as Publications and Scientific Affairs
Manager. Unfortunately I never met Tamie but thanks to modern technology
and her endless enthusiasm for ICSSPE she has helped a great deal as
I took my first steps and in putting this main feature together.
As my first bulletin to be involved in, reading these articles have
given me an invaluable insight into the ground-breaking first World
Summit on Physical Education and the importance of monitoring its continuing
impact 5 years later. Guided by the seven steps in the Berlin Agenda
this issues feature starts with a series of articles evaluating the
post-Berlin summit developments from a range of international and institutional
perspectives. Ken Hardman and Joe Marshall continue to maintain the
monitoring with their announcement of a new follow-up survey which is
approved by ICSSPE, UNESCO and WHO.
ICSSPE are also excited to include the much anticipated Sport in Education
(SpinEd) report provided by Prof. Dr. Richard Bailey and an all important
update on the 2nd World Summit on Physical Education to be held in December
this year.
Our resources section is full of information with a selection of book
reviews and an in-depth webliography in our Watching the Web section,
with links to organisations tackling the decline of Physical Education
in schools and communities today.
Remember while you are reading about the latest ICSSPE or member conferences
to also keep us up to date with your events by using our online conference
announcement form.
I hope you enjoy this edition and I look forward to working with you
all on future issues.
