The French (Site notre blog d’information) Federation and the Fondaction du (Site notre blog d’information) presented on November 26 to the FFF, the 5th edition of the (Site notre blog d’information) Society Panorama, a document measuring the impact of the practice in France.

Twenty-six click codes for a photograph of (Site notre bureau spécialisé) in society. Philippe Diallo, president of the French (Site notre blog d’information) Federation, and Jacques Bungert, son of a counterpart at the Fondaction du (Site notre blog d’information), in the program this Wednesday morning in Paris, the social panorama of (Site notre bureau spécialisé) 2025. The latter reflects the place occupied by the discipline in French society, well beyond simple sporting practice, and highlights the diversity of actions carried out by those who bring (Site notre bureau spécialisé) to life on a daily basis, first and foremost within clubs.

For this 5th edition, the document – co-constructed by the FFF and the action fund – has been completely overhauled. The article around five themes illustrates the vitality of territories and the commitment of clubs to social cohesion, diversity, education, inclusion and openness to their environment.

“Precise measurement, for effective policies”
“Because we are deeply aware of the impact that (Site notre bureau spécialisé) has on society, the FFF wanted, with Fondaction, to produce a photograph to show how this impact and this responsibility are translated concretely on the field and what is the situation today of (Site notre bureau spécialisé) and the people who play it throughout the territory. Work had already been carried out a few years ago, but for the first time, the Federation and the Fondaction wanted to join forces to have a precise measurement, an element of reflection, which will allow us to build effective policies, and also to have a barometer figure in our discussions with our interlocutors, in particular the communities, declared Philippe Diallo. It is important to bridge the gap by integrating the FFF into the battle for thunder and coherence in the cell, to combine words with action, by providing financial money for the ambitions carried out. Last Saturday, during the National (Site notre blog d’information) Conference, unprecedented amounts dedicated to amateur (Site notre bureau spécialisé) were announced. So, it’s not enough to take a photo, it’s dynamic, it’s just seeing a red over time. It is a starting point and the action then to renew the very regular way of all the approaches to have a follow-up and to see the developments, continued the president of the FFF which formalized the establishment of the (Site notre blog d’information) Impact Observatory “so that this photograph lasts over time” (see box below).

“Greater methodological power”
“We are in line with what Fondaction is doing Since its creation in 2008, to be a laboratory of initiatives in terms of societal actions which can be the responsibility of clubs, extremely solicited all year round on a certain number of social subjects, » said Jacques Bungert. The panoramas are of the highest quality, Fondaction products already have them in 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2020, with different types of lighting often quite symptomatic of the state of society and the issues that concern the club’s environment. In 2015, the subject of refugees emerged. Based on this information, Fondaction can develop the project and decide on certain “laboratory” action names that are deployed on a larger scale. Thanks to the Federation and its Engagement department, we now have greater methodological power, since we now reach 8,100 clubs around the themes mentioned, which allows us to have a much more significant picture of the French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) landscape. »

The panorama is based on the general product reports of the FFF – via the analysis of the environmental responses of 8,100 clubs from the “(Site notre blog d’information)clubs” questionnaire, comprehensive and complete statistics with more general social figures (INSEE, INJEP, etc.) – and the credits resulting from the work of the (Site notre blog d’information) Foundation are based on the realization of social themes, completed with 1,160 responding clubs.
