First World Taekwondo-FISU University Sports and Peace Forum held 05/02/21
The first World Taekwondo-FISU University Sports and Peace Forum was held virtually on 30 April as both organisations came together to promote the role of sport in acting as a vehicle for world peace and harmony.
The Forum aimed to seek positive solutions and develop proactive suggestions to improve current difficulties through sport bringing people together. The Forum comprised subthemes of Humanity, Social Justice and Gender Equality and saw World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue deliver a keynote speech alongside FISU Acting President Leonz Eder.
Following the keynote speeches, delegates received three main speeches from UNHCR refugee sport Coordinator and Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (THF) board member Claude Marshall; FISU Executive Board member Delise O’Meally; and FISU Executive Board member and Gender Equality Committee Chair Rosaura Mendez Gamboa.
