Ambassadors Programme
Following the growing success of the World Gymnaestrada, among the biggest sports events in the world, the Organising Committee of the World Gymnaestrada Lausanne 2011, which will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 10 to 16 July 2011, is launching the brand new Ambassadors’ Programme.
The Ambassadors’ Programme will be addressing a range of issues that have an impact upon the important themes of the World Gymnaestrada.
The Lausanne Organising Committee opens the doors to Ambassadors from FIG Member Federations that have never participated, or only a very long time ago, to a chance to live a thrilling experience on site. This programme aims to convey the magic as well as to experience what happens behind the scenes at such an event. Ambassadors will live this event from a very special access to Group Performances, Forums and Conferences. They will also have the opportunity to visit some national and international sports organizations, as well as doing some unique networking. Thus, they will have the occasion to exchange and share knowledge with experts on any related matters.
This programme is specifically designed to encourage new FIG Member Federations to show their talent and participate in the next World Gymnaestrada and to embrace the “Gymnastics for All” movement, as well as its values around the globe.
In addition, the organising committee will cover the expenses of the activities of the Ambassadors. More information here.
