Here's a first report from Darl Schaaff, who is representing the FGG at the 13th World Sport for All Congress (more info on the congress HERE.):
I just sat through the opening ceremony of the World Sport for All Congress. The keynote address was by Dr. Jacques Rogge, the President of the IOC, which demonstrates the concern of the IOC for the subject of Sport for All.
The congress has brought together 700 participants from 90 countries. I've met up with Håvard B. Øvregård from Norway, and met with other participants from the Netherlands, Germany, Zambia, Finland and elsewhere.
In every conversation I talked freely about the Games, our role in human rights, the sports movement of 30 years. Everyone seemed quite interested and has asked many questions.
