A man who had devoted his whole life to the twin causes of sport and Fair Play was thus lost to us at an age when he might have rendered yet more services to world sport. On behalf of everyone at the EFPM, we salute the memory of this friendly, always-smiling person who was much loved by all who knew him, and extend our condolences to his family, to the Polish nation and to the sporting community.

Prof. Rodichenko breaks the record for publications on Fair Play Prof. Dr. Vladimir Rodichenko, who has been involved in our work for many years both as an administrator and in other capacities, is a well-known figure at Fair Play events not just in his home country, Russia, but also in the rest of Europe and internationally. Recently, Prof. Rodichenko has published yet another book, bringing the number of his publications on Fair Play to ten. The work of Prof. Rodichenko, who is an Honorary Member of the EFPM, is much appreciated both by us and by the CIFP, and his efforts were applauded at our Congress in Prague. MEETING OF THE JURY: The jury for the EOC-EFPM Awards at work EFPM Awards for Services Rendered At the closing ceremony on the final evening of the 16th Congress in Prague, special awards (consisting of medals and plaques) were given to people who had rendered important services to Fair Play both in their own countries and in Europe as a whole. A Medal for Khazar Isayev The EFPM Medal of Honour and certificate were presented to Khazar Isayev, the Chairman of the Azerbaijan Fair Play Committee, in recognition of his work in promoting the Fair Play movement in Azerbaijan. Khazar Isayev played an important role in the selection of Baku as the venue for our 15th Congress, and in the organisation and successful hosting of this event; he was also involved in the decision by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Sport to donate twenty thousand dollars to the EFPM as a contribution to our projects. A Medal for Prof. Jirí Pelikán Jirí Pelikán, a professor at the world-famous Charles University, was the person who in 1991 organised the seminar in what was then Czechoslovakia that led to the formation of the European Fair Play Movement. In Prague, the EFPM presented him with its Medal of Honour in recognition of this initiative. An Award for Alena Dlabacova Dr. Alena Dlabacova, who carried out important work in the cause of Fair Play both in Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic (and who was also one of the organisers of the Seminar in 1991), received the EFPM s Shield of Honour.

This involves shoving, punching, and ostracizing; it also involves the extortion of valuable items or money, frequently accompanied by threats of violence. In most cases, the perpetrators feel safe in their group and the victims are alone - because others look the other way. That is why German Malteser Hilfsdienst (MHD) and the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) launched the Fit in Fair Play - FiFP campaign in October so that people would stop looking away. Conceived as an annual school contest, it saw more than 10,000 pupils from 16 schools around Germany take part in 2009/10. Small groups of pupils, classes and entire schools, with the support of the players of their local ice hockey club, their teachers, parents and friends, their local Malteser organisation, and many celebrities have tackled the issues of violence and bullying in various activities and projects. They took part in protests, worked their own experiences into music, drama or film, or carried out amazing projects for people in need or with elderly people. The Maltesers showed the pupils how great it is Con ti nu ed on pa ge 14

The KNHB was awarded because of its extensive and intensive policy in promoting sportsmanship and respect. Marijke Fleuren (KNHB) was asked to come to the stage and Erica Terpstra held a short, enthusiastic speech. Marijke Fleuren also took the opportunity to tell the audience about the importance of sportsmanship and respect and stimulated the sports federations to take action. The KNHB is very content and thankful towards the EFPM for this award. Lieke VLOET (NOC*NSF) hands over the Award and the Diploma to Marijke FLEUREN (KNHB) EOC-EFPM AWARDS Fair Play Award for the U-20 Serbia Handball Team BRATISLAVA- Fair play ideas represented by the European Fair Play Movement and the Club Fair Play SOC were presented at the European Handball Championships up to 20 years taking place at the beginning of August in Bratislava. Young teams from 16 countries met at this important event in order to fight for the first place successfully and honestly. A part of the closing ceremony was also the Fair Play award devoted by the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM) in cooperation with the Club Fair Play SOC. The award went to the team of Serbia that had collected the least warnings and suspensions. Representing the Serbian team, the Fair Play award was taken over by Serbian Olympic winner in handball Svetlana Obucina from the hands of Katarína Ráczová, EFPM Executive Committee member. It is delightful that the European Handball Federation and the Slovak Handball Association help to disseminate the ideals of honesty and tolerance among the youth also in this form and try to bring the importance of sport - which does not only mean to break records and to win, but should also comprise an educational element and effect - closer to the youth thanks to their approach. Fair Play Award for the fencer Florina Plachta ATHENS- Florina Plachta from Germany was honoured for her honest attitude during the European Fencing Cadet Championships, taking place in Athens from March 1-7, The young fencer received the Fair Play Award of the European Fair Play Movement which was announced under the auspices of the European Fencing Confederation. The award followed Plachta s exemplary behaviour in an important match: It was in the team competition against Italy in the quarter-final when the referee awarded me a point, although I didn't hit the opponent but the ground. I admitted the referee's mistake, who corrected his judgement. In the end we lost 44:45, Florina Plachta explained. It is always a pleasure and honour to decorate young athletes for their behaviour supporting and following the essence of Fair Play, in particular concerning a sport as rich in history as fencing, a sport that challenges both the body and the mind.

Fit in Fair Play 2010/2011 Cont d from pa ge 6 to be able to help other people. And from their ice hockey teams, the kids learnt that fairness is part of the game in victory as in defeat. In short - all FiFP participants learned a lot about team spirit, moral courage and social competence. While all participants in the school contest came away feeling like winners, an independent jury awarded the Fit in Fair Play Trophy to three schools with the most creative and sustainable projects, as an added incentive and in recognition of the creativity, dedication and earnestness with which the children approached the subject. The winning schools in turn have directly invested the prize money of 10,000 euros in total in the continuation and extension of their projects against violence and bullying. In addition to the many celebrity supporters from the previous season, and the even more numerous new celebrity supporters, the campaign s sponsors in the current, recently launched second season also include the pupils social networking platforms SchülerVZ and Spickmich. These platforms, together with the campaign s own home page ( which provides daily updates and interactive information on all schools and their projects, will enable Fit in Fair Play to reach even more pupils, providing information and creating awareness for this pressing issue on an even broader scope. Accordingly, in the spirit of FiFP 2.0, the interested public is invited to vote for the project they find most convincing. The winning project will then receive a Public s Choice Award, sponsored by the network partners and awarded as an additional prize alongside the trophy awarded by the jury. Today, bullying is no longer confined to the school grounds. Studies conducted in Europe (see Jäger et al. 2007, Katzer & Fetchenhauer, 2005, 2007; Smith et al., 2008), the US (see Hinduja & Patchin, 2009) and Canada (see Li, 2007) show that forms of verbal and psychological bullying-threatening others, extorting, taunting, spreading rumours, ostracizing-are increasingly being transferred to the virtual space of the Internet. So-called cyberbullying uses chat rooms, social networking services such as SchülerVZ and Facebook, instant messaging or video portals to target others and harm or hurt them. In Germany, 5 to 25 percent of young people aged years are subjected to bullying at a rate between several times a month and daily. The figures are similar for cyberbullying: 5 to 25 percent of young people in this age group say they have been a victim of cyberbullying between several times a month and daily. Over 40 percent of year olds have experienced cyberbullying on the Internet (Katzer, 2009; Pieschl, 2010). The impact of being bullied, be it at school or on the Internet, can be traumatic, in particular because only a small fraction of the victims turn to an adult for help. There is often no significant adult available who will respond to these issues and give the young person the feeling he or she is being taken seriously. The need for action is clear. This is where the Fit in Fair Play campaign comes in. The aim is to present new preventive measures against violence and bullying. One step is to have an integrated prevention scheme that addresses both conventional school bullying and cyberbullying. The pro-active stances of the schools will promote a dynamic development of comprehensive prevention schemes, and the Fit in Fair Play campaign will be accompanied by a continuous evaluation to monitor the evolution of the campaign s initial approach and assess the outcome.
