VENEZUELA (Saturday, August 8, 2020).- The “I Seminar on Sports Administration of the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organization (CACSO)” has been widely accepted throughout the American continent and even in countries in Europe and Asia.
More than 1500 people from 47 countries around the world have signed up for this new initiative that seeks to connect, train and teach nations about the Olympic movement through the intervention of sports leaders from CACSO, Panam Sports and National Olympic Committees from all over America.
The expectations held by Luis Mejia, CACSO’s President and from Eduardo Álvarez, Secretary General of the organization and also Chair of the Education Commission, have been positively overcome. In principle, it was calculated that the seminar would be given for 1000 people, a figure that fell short when there was still a week left to start.
Even so, both sports leaders have extended the invitation to those who want to participate, ensuring that this seminar is available not only for leaders, coaches or those directly involved in the sport; it is also open to everyone who wants to learn about sport.
“We are giving those interested in sports the opportunity. That is the main characteristic of this seminar, which has content and a varied agenda that will change from time to time because sport is very broad ", said President Mejia.
The adaptation of CACSO to the digital present has also been an accomplishment and one of the reasons for the successful registration of this first seminar.
"We have done a lot of promotion of this virtual activity so that everyone has the possibility to register and receive all the information we offer in the seminar", commented the person in charge of this initiative, Eduardo Álvarez.
On Tuesday, August 11, starting at 2:20 pm Venezuela and Dominican Republic time / 1:20 pm Mexico time, the seminar will begin with the words of President Luis Mejia. Next, Keith Joseph from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Lorena Novoa and Fabio Ramirez from Colombia, will be the experts who will complete the first day of teachings.
