ITTF Foundation and Pro Sport Development celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace together.
The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is a day for reflection and action. It's a day that reminds us of the power of sport to transform lives, bring people together, and make a difference in our world. For the ITTF Foundation, this day holds a special significance as we celebrate our commitment to using table tennis as a means to promote social change and work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Table Tennis United, the fundraising initiative supported by the International Table Tennis Federation Group operated by the ITTF Foundation, is winding down applications for initiatives affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ITTF Group has pledged to continue to stand in solidarity with counterparts from Türkiye and Syria, through its long-term concerted efforts in supporting the nation.
The ITTF Foundation opened the registrations of the inaugural TT4Heatlh Festival, including the World Parkinson's Table Tennis Championships, the World Alzheimer's Table Tennis Championships and the World Table Tennis for Health Congress, an expansion of the already successful World Parkinson’s Championships.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, the ITTF Group confirms its commitment to empowering women in all their diversity and promoting a gender-equal sport every day of the year. Whether it's staff, athletes, sports leaders or elected officials, gender equal participation in table tennis is the basis for a sustainable future for our sport. Through the ITTF, the ITTF Foundation, and World Table Tennis, significant strides have been made to make table tennis more inclusive and diverse, but more needs to be done within all entities.
We are excited to announce that on February 9th, 2023, the INTERACT Plus project was successfully kicked off with the first project partner meeting. INTERACT Plus is being funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
