Le Conseil favorable à l'attribution d'un label "Ecole favorable au sport"
Les ministres européens des sports souhaitent que ce concept soit adopté dans l'ensemble des Etats membres de l'Union. Les critères exacts en vue de l'attribution du label doivent être définis à l'issue d'une série de consultations menées au niveau européen.

A new ‘sports-minded school’ label is one of the ideas to emerge in the Luxembourg Presidency’s conclusions following the informal meeting of sports ministers on 28 and 29 April. The core aim is to promote sport in education.
A competition to become the ‘Most sport-minded school in Europe’ was held last year as part of the European Year of Education through Sport 2004. Results of an evaluation of the year are due out in June.
One project, which looked at why young athletes stop sport when they leave school and go on to higher education, was led by the British Universities Sports Association.
Meanwhile, at the annual conference of the CCPR on 5-6 May, an umbrella organisation representing national sports organisations in the UK, chief executive Margaret Talbot underscored the lack of UK government funding (21 pounds per head) compared to France (112 pounds per head).
She said that there must be a link between investment and the UK’s « woeful position » at the head of the league for heart attacks and obesity and bottom of the league for levels of participation in physical activity.
