On April 7, 2024, Laurence Blondel, French member of the EAS Executive Committee and in charge of Dual Career at INSEP, was interviewed by Jamal Fadil and Kolë Gjeloshaj during the TV and radio show “Le Club du Dimanche” on BX1, the French-speaking Brussels TV network.

This was the opportunity for Mrs. Blondel to present the initiatives of the EAS and INSEP on dual careers a few weeks before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In that context, two speakers shared their experience on this subject. Mr. Philippe Housiaux, President of the European Fair Play Movement (EFPM), explained that he was unable to participate in the Munich 1972 Olympic Games, as the university he attended in the 3rd year of his law PhD studies refused to postpone his last exam. Munich would have been his 2nd Olympics after Mexico 1968. Then, Mr. Wilfried Happio, the French 400m hurdles track & field athlete who finished 4th at the last world championships and a university student in physiotherapy, presented his experience in a dual career programme.

During the TV and Radio programs, Mrs. Blondel was provided the information of the “Perpetual Calendar for a Fair Play World” developed as part of World Fair Play Day celebrated last September 7, 2023 at the City Hall of Brussels, Belgium by the P.I., the CIFP, the EFPM and the PWB.
