The university sport A permanent dialogue of peace

A

s the editor in chief of ODUPA Magazine and Director of Culture and Sport School of the Costa Rican Technology Institute, I do have the noble and great mission to deliver, for its first time, the happening of the different physical sport activities, scientific and academic linked to the duties of University Sports in the Pan-American Area.

The main reason for the creation of this ODUPA magazine is to stimulate the cooperation, gathering and the self knowledge in all wide organization country members, as well to strength all relationships and improve all National Federations of University Sports that propitiate the developing and the attention about the University Sport stage.

Furthermore, as a way of communication, this magazine was created in order to offer a space to all student community, teachers, investigators and all those that are interested in topics related with the university sports to post either texts or articles from the Pan –American area in this matter. Not only those, but also in order to highlight different publications like magazines, special events and, in general, all those international situations concomitant to this area.

We do believe and trust in the value that the university sports enclose and the several manifestations for the contribution to a better world, where the peace and love reign among all the countries.

This first one ODUPA magazine is the culmination of many huge efforts of sport persons, teachers, trainers and directives, since the creation of the Pan-American Sports University Organization as a part of the international sport movement promoted and guided by the International Federation of University Sports (FISU).

As the editor in chief, let me congratulate to all of you for the creation of this magazine that will bring you all the main organizations events.

Nowadays there are five continental organizations: The European University Sport Association, the Asian University Sport Federation, the African University Sport Federation, the Oceania University Sport Federation and the Pan –American University Sport Organization, ODUPA.

ODUPA's Mission

A

long the General Assembly in Belgrade, on July 3rd. 2009, the first ODUPA’s History President, Julio Jakob, opened up the OIKOS Program and expressed:

“We are in a very high promissory stage as a new organization that has the challenge to provide with an identity that reflects the diversity of a continent and that could fulfill the aims of its foundation and its FISU limits”.

He also remarked the need “of developing an organizational culture that let to attend to the growing and complexity that follow all the activities related with sport and particularly with the university sport, not only for the world, but also for the continent”.

As well he appointed to “align ODUPA with all FISU strategic politics, to strength it in all wide continent as well as in the rest of the world by beginning its own way of organizations that lead with intelligence, through the whole participation of all country members and at same time linking with the academic and sport objectives”.

At that moment OIKOS Program was born, a process of strategic construction in our organizational identity. This is a construction of everyone that are part of the Pan American University sport system.

"To collaborate from the University America, through sports, to the worldwide citizen education¨ OIKOS: everyone ODUPA construction OIKOS means house. A big house located in a particular system that conjugates the Being, to be and to do.

We expect that OIKOS Program give to all of us a Strategic Plan and a smart system of management as a orientation instrument for ODUPA actions and let us to reach all the intentions of drive the Pan American university sport well done linked, integrated and aligned with all FISU principles.

To align all the efforts it is mandatory the existence of a Mission and a Vision, both shared that clearly reflects the future status that is expected to reach out. These mission and vision must be strictly defined by the participation, easy to understand and transmit in order to spread them out. Values must be explained and the Strategic Lines must conduce at the best decisions. This is the ODUPA Strategic Planning Project main objective.

This project is actually ending. We will be sharing with all ODUPA people the final document and raising it to the Authorities approval.

n the city of Novi Sad, Belgrade, from the August 23rd up to 29th, the University Federation developed the Twelfth Indoor Soccer Championship. In both, masculine and feminine, there was participation from all the world national universities federations.

ODUPA was represented by three of its best participants: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil crowned itself as the champion in both masculine and feminine categories.

In the masculine category final game, it was disputed among Brazil and Russia.

The third place was for Serbia and fourth for Ukraine.

Brazilians won 3-2 and that score indicates that the game was pretty hard and the technical base and strategy from the South Americans managed the strong Russian representation.

The final game in the feminine category was disputed by Brazil against Portugal and Brazilian girls imposed their ability over the Portuguese girls. In other games Russia won over the French team and got the third position.

Jakob expressed that it is a pride for ODUPA to have a world level champion and recognized the extraordinary CBDU labor to participate in the FISU activities.

Likewise, Mr. Jakob invited to all ODUPA members to emulate the CBDU efforts and to program in its work plan the participation in the 2011 FISU Championships. Also he greeted the Serbian organization for the excellent organization in the Twelfth FISU Championship.

How do you describe your passion for this sport?

Since I was a child, my trainer told me that I was passionate for this sciencegame and I think that all that I have gotten until now it is because my dedication I put in each moment. Sometimes over exceeded, as well as my family says.

After gotten those goals, what are you aspiring to get to as a chess professional?

I want to improve my ELO coefficient and to make the MI and GM norm.

Also I am preparing myself for next

challenges. I use to alternate my athlete condition with scholarship students trainer, where I have gotten great results in national level, like the Gold Medal in the 11-12 category last 2009.

Nowadays I am part of the GM Yuniesky Quesada trainers, where I could to enrich all my chess knowledge.

I think it is a great think because sometimes it is hard to participate in this kind of strong events because the university courses and this tournaments let people to keep a high quality and to measure us up with others countries universities.

For most of all managers, Clovis is a key person referenced to FISU movement and in Central American Sports.

Many of his great victories have represented Honduras in two universities; have participated as a board member in very high significant sport events from ODUCC, ODUPA and of course FISU. As an academic, he has stimulated the education in Physic Education and Sports in his own country. He also

His opinion about ODUPA he said “that is a very young organization and in a very short term has been consolidated. Since its foundation in 2007 in Brazil, nobody could image how far this organization could get in the Pan American Sport History. I can guarantee that at the moment of inauguration there were some sceptics that did not believe in this, actually many that refused to be part of this. Now all of those are convinced to be together to improve the sport developing”.

About his great successful: “the organization of the 2009 Third JUDUCA Games” that took place in Tegucigalpa, Honduras with more than 1500 athletes, he confessed that it was product of a great team job, the everyone’s planning and their effort to serve in the best way with the university sport.

He also confessed us that there is Clovis for a long time and he will be continuing on supporting the ODUPA’s proposal: gathering America through sports.

Other ODUPA messages 26

This first edition of ODUPA Magazine is other long step taken by this young entity that in just 3 years has consolidated as a strong Continental Federation, well done organized and with an organizational structure that grows every single day, creating new projects and dreams in order to make them real.

It happens thanks to the brilliant job from its Executive Committee and all members support. Our discussions helped with the ODUPA growing, because they have been interesting, wide and “hot” in some cases. But those discussions gave other projects and solutions that have given arguments to talk in FISU and in some other cases they have been taken as examples. I feel proud because some of those discussions were in my city, Blumenau, Brazil, as a founder member and today ODUPA represents all American Continent as a conquered dream and happiness that hardly can be expressed by words.

That is the reason why this magazine comes in its best moment and it is huge honor for me, as a FISU Vice President to give a very special welcoming to this first edition, that I am sure, will be a great communication way for the spreading out of the university sport in each of our countries and of course, in our continent.

Congratulations ODUPA for this great Goal!

FISU, the International University Sports Federation, has during the last years put a lot of effort in supporting and strengthening the Continental Federations. The strategic objective with this work is create the best possible conditions for our National University Sports Federations. Strong and well-functioning Continental Federations can mean a lot for the development on the national level.

The number of activities organized by ODUPA is impressive! Under the leadership of Julio Jakob and his colleagues in the ODUPA Executive Committee we have seen many events – both competitions and conferences – being organized in several countries in the region.

These events has definitely contributed to the objective to involve more students in sports.

I am convinced that we are only in the starting phase when it comes to the work of ODUPA. During the years to come we will see even more initiatives taken by different actors in the continent. One important issue when you develop new ideas is to communicate them – this magazine will be one of the most key channels to spread information to all members of ODUPA. I wish you all good luck with your future challenges,
