I am pleased to inform you that we continue to be very active in the two axes of our strategic plan: internal projection (among members) and external projection (internationally) of AEJeST. In recent weeks we have been present at online conferences in Colombia, the Philippines and Turkey. In the last months we formalised a collaboration agreement with an organisation in South Korea. As a result of this agreement, we have received a grant to carry out a specific project around hopscotch traditional games family.

The 3rd International Ethnosport Forum held between February 20 and 23 in Antalya, Turkey hosted more than 200 representatives from 50 countries as well as 12 ministers.

Last weekend, the Cia. De Jocs l’Anònima hosted the AEJeST Administration Council meeting in Berga (Barcelona). The meeting, which allowed us to discuss aspects related to the current projects, was very positive.
