A two-person delegation from the Organising Committee World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011 will go to Seoul in South Korea from 3 to 7 February to participate in the "Join the Gymnaestrada" workshop, organised by the FIG and the Asian Gymnastics Union (AGU).

This meeting is part of an F.I.G. programme to encourage more and more countries to take part in the World Gymnaestrada. In this context, the WG-2011 went to Mexico, in August 2008, in order to present its concept to the countries of the Panamerican Gymnastics Union (PAGU). The OC is looking forward to the next occasion, at the beginning of March, to meeting the countries of the African Gymnastics Union.

The OC of Lausanne, and the FIG, are looking forward hosting as many countries as possible in Lausanne in 2011. This is why they are happy to meet the different member federations of the AGU, in order to present to them with a preview of what Lausanne is preparing for the 14th edition of the World Gymnaestrada.

Moreover, many countries have announced themselves, that haven’t participated in any World Gymnaestradas or perhaps in only one. We are especially looking forward to welcoming and/or meeting again: South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Singapore and Sri Lanka. We hope that other countries will be able to join the list.

The outcome of these meetings will be reported to you in February.
