TYPO3 - get.content.right http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:56:00 +0100 Join the Gymnaestrada Course http://www.wg-2011.com/en/about-us/news/item/article/joint-the-gymnaestrada-course.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=42&cHash=af25e0c7df From 4 to 7 February, a workshop was held in Seoul, in South Korea, called “Join the Gymnaestrada”,... The objective of these few days was to make all those federations attending aware of Gymnastics for All, by explaining its values, its features and its leading events. Thus the participants were able to leave with a much clearer idea of this discipline and of what Gym for Life and World Gymnaestrada are all about. All the workshop sessions were interspersed with practical segments, in order to show them the type of productions one finds in Gymnastics for All, whether involving gymnastics or dancing, and with or without apparatus.

In addition, one half-day was reserved for the WG-2011 and the OC representatives who attended were able to promote Lausanne and its region and the concept prepared for 2011. Some administrative points such as the registration procedures or participant costs were also covered.

It is important to underline the excellent atmosphere that pervaded the whole workshop and the warm welcome reserved for all of the participants by the Korean Gymnastics Federation and all of its staff.

We hope that in July 2011 in Lausanne we shall have the chance to welcome all of the countries who attended the workshop among the large family of Gymnastics for All! Namely: South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Mongolia, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand!

Founded in 1919, DSR has a long experience in group catering. A leader in this field in French-speaking Switzerland, DSR ensures, on a daily basis, the management and operations of more than 230 restaurants. In this capacity, the company is an important economic player in Switzerland. DSR is also the most important of the 9 members of the group bearing its name, each operating independently and in the catering business. The DSR Group employs over 1,500 people and has a consolidated turnover of CHF 230 million. DSR and all of its group companies will manage all catering requirements at the WG-2011 sites on an exclusive basis.

DSR is thus joining those companies who have already decided to associate themselves with the vision of sporting practices propounded by the World Gymnaestrada. This unusual event, whose main speciality is to offer high level performances within a non-competitive framework, brings together all the basic, humane values that form the basis of our love of our sport: sharing, friendship, pleasure, meeting, exchanging, beauty and well-being.

We would like to give to all of them our heartfelt thanks once again !

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.
