A forum was held as the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic University Partnership Project with the aim of promoting an environment in which women in Japan and around the world can enjoy a healthy lifelong involvement in sports activities.
The forum was held on “women and sport” and began with a keynote speech from Ms.Marisol Casado of Spain, the member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Chairperson of the International Triathlon Union. Then panelists from various backgrounds including Olympians, Paralympians, volunteers, educators and researchers shared issues based on their knowledge. A lively question and answer session was also held with the many participants interested in sports, and this was a productive meeting in which student volunteers also participated. |
