Resumo
Um documento que reporte e analise as ações que, profissionalmente, foram realizadas numa determinada instituição ou serviço, para além de um registo histórico, pode constituir um documento de consulta e de promoção de boas-práticas. A atividade profissional que realizámos nos primeiros 13 anos deste século, na Autarquia de Tondela, na coordenação da Divisão de Desporto, alimentou a ideia de a podermos analisar, num relatório que correspondesse à descrição e registo desse percurso e àquilo que de mais relevante foi conseguido em prol das populações que temos tido o privilégio de servir. As autarquias locais são geridas pelas mesmas leis, em todo o território Nacional. Apesar desta normalização, as políticas autárquicas são operacionalizadas de forma diferenciada e obtêm resultados diversos, entre os diferentes municípios. São vários os fatores que contribuem para esta disparidade. Daí que as experiencias autárquicas, mesmo que de áreas temáticas semelhantes, sejam sempre diferentes na sua conceção, na sua organização e nos resultados alcançados. A capacidade de gestão, no que concerne aos decisores políticos, aliada à capacidade organizativa sustentada pela área técnica, produz a diferença entre iniciativas que visam alcançar objetivos comuns. No presente caso, em particular, trata-se de um trabalho de intervenção desportiva autárquica no Concelho de Tondela constituindo a experiencia de um docente de Educação Física, enquanto responsável pela Unidade Orgânica de Desporto daquele Município, em regime de mobilidade. A caraterização do Concelho de Tondela, da sua autarquia, dos serviços de desporto e das suas infraestruturas desportivas municipais, bem como a abordagem e descrição metodológica de experiencias de intervenção desportiva autárquica, através de projetos direcionados a faixas etárias específicas onde os objetivos se direcionam para a generalização da prática desportiva, combate ao sedentarismo e apoio ao desenvolvimento do desporto federado, constituem matéria relevante de um percurso desportivo de mais de uma década (a primeira deste século). A relação entre o município (divisão de desporto) e os parceiros associativos, para além das parcerias importantes que foram efetuadas de forma a encontrar sinergias potenciadoras de um desenvolvimento global e harmonioso são, igualmente, temáticas abordadas em contexto de experiencias profissionais concretas. Por último e porque entendemos que a política desportiva deve assentar numa base sustentada de conhecimento da realidade, quisemos deixar o registo de uma experiencia, que consideramos de “boas-práticas”, assente em dados fornecidos pela “Carta Desportiva” elaborada em 2008, cujo estudo efetuado sobre os “Hábitos Desportivos da População do Concelho de Tondela” registava um índice de “procura não satisfeita” de 41%. Motivados para encontrar soluções que permitissem satisfazer este público-alvo, foi concebido um programa de combate ao sedentarismo “Saúde em Dia” e lançado aos parceiros Institucionais para, conjuntamente, poder ser operacionalizado. Para além do objetivo principal, o programa permitiu a rentabilização das instalações desportivas locais, o envolvimento e dinamização do associativismo (pouco ativo e com perda progressiva de públicos) e a criação de oportunidade laboral para os Técnicos de Desporto. É esta experiencia global que aqui registamos como justificação de um percurso de vida profissional dedicado e plena de desafios permanentes, numa relação de grande proximidade com as diferentes Instituições locais, regionais, nacionais e com os cidadãos de um território que, como em todos os outros, anseiam por experiencias positivas que possam contribuir para a melhoria da sua saúde e qualidade de vida.
A professional report, which highlights the importance of the activities that have been performed in a specific institution or service, apart from the historical record, can constitute a good approach for promoting the “good practices”. The professional activity, which has been carried out for the last 13 years in the Sports Section of the autarchy of Tondela, contributed positively to the elaboration of this descriptive report which, in turn, highlights the activities that have been done and also the respective benefits regarding the targeted population. The autarchies are ruled by the same law within the national territory. However, the autarchic politics are applied differently and thus different results are obtained between the diverse municipalities. There are several factors contributing to these disparities. Hence, although autarchic experiences can be based on similar topics, they are always different in its conception, organization and in the results achieved. The management skills of the policy makers and the organizational capability of the technical “sector” constitute the key factors towards the success of different activities which seek common objectives. The present work contains a view of local sports intervention in the board of Tondela by a Physical Education professional, as head of the Sports sector of the same autarchy, in mobility regimen. Moreover, this work includes a characterization of the board of Tondela, namely the sport services and facilities and also the methodological description of all the interventional sport activities, which in turn, targeted specific age groups, aiming the stimulation of sport practices, the reduction of sedentary lifestyle and the development of “federated sports”. The present work also considers the relationship between the autarchical sports division and the “associative partners” as an enhancer factor towards the development of several activities. Lastly, it is also referred an experience, which can be considered as a good example of the “good-practices”, based on the data presented in the “Sports Letter” of 2008. According to this document “the Sporting Habits Regarding the Population of the Board of Tondela” registered an index of “unmet demand” of 41%. In order to find solutions to reduce this index and thus to satisfy the targeted audience, it was created an “anti-sedentary lifestyle” program, along with the institutional partners. Besides the main objective, this program also enabled a better occupation plan of the local sporting facilities, the stimulation of the associativism and the creation of job opportunities for sporting technicians. The overall experience here presented in this work justifies a dedicated professional career with many challenges, where close partnerships with local, regional and national institutions were made with the final objective to provide the target audience with dynamic and motivating activities, which are believed to provide health benefits and to contribute to a better life quality.
