Guardar

Kazan, July 7 2017 – Day five of the inaugural FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy

provided participants with a look ahead to future events, focusing particularly on

the Krasnoyarsk 2019 Winter Universiade.

Executive Director of Krasnoyarsk 2019 Maxim Urazov presented the Siberian

city’s plans for the event and highlighted the importance of volunteers in

ensuring a successful competition.

"The Winter Universiade isn’t the finishing point for my city hosting large sports

events, it’s only the start", he said. "Krasnoyarsk represents a new region for the

sports world to discover. The most significant part we learned from Kazan is that

we should do the absolute maximum we can. If you’re organizing an event such

as the Universiade, you have to go into it with the mentality that you will host the

best one yet.

"Our volunteers will have new experiences and make new friends. You will go

back to your countries with new knowledge and expertise", Urazov added.

With Kazan now seen as the sports volunteering capital of Russia, FISU brought

110 delegates from 91 different countries together for a weeklong event to help

train, network and invest in volunteers from every continent. The Krasnoyarsk

2019 Winter Universiade will require over 5,000 volunteers, some of whom have

been taking part in the Academy.

In his closing remarks FISU President Oleg Matytsin spoke passionately about

the organisation’s commitment and investment in university students, helping

them become the leaders of tomorrow.

"I am very happy with the quality and depth of your questions", he said to the

participants. "You might be young, but this demonstrates your ambition and

professionalism. We need to take advantage of your knowledge, your experience

and your ambition. We want to build a long-term relationship with all of you to

develop you as young leaders."

Next month the focus of university sports will centre on Taipei and the 2017

Summer Universiade, where the best athletes from institutions all over the world

will compete. Over 19,000 volunteers will play a fundamental role in making the

event a success.

The FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy 2017 international forum is hosted by the

Volga State Academy of Sport and Tourism and will conclude on July 8.

The International University Sports Federation – FISU

Founded in 1949, FISU stands for Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire

(International University Sports Federation). FISU was formed within university

institutions in order to promote sports values and encourage sports practice in

harmony with and complementary to the university spirit. Promoting sports

values means encouraging friendship, fraternity, fair-play, perseverance, integrity

and cooperation amongst students, who one day may have responsibilities and

even key positions in politics, the economy, culture and industry.

Open to student-athletes aged between 17 and 25 (for events in 2016 and 2017

the upper age is still 28), FISU’s events consist of Summer and Winter

Universiades and the World University Championships. Universiades are

multisport events staged in odd-numbered years, while the World University

Championships are single-sport events, staged in even-numbered years. Besides

its sporting events, FISU stages educational events, such as the FISU Forum on

University Sport, the FISU World Conference on Development through Sport, the

FISU World Conference on Innovation - Education - Sport, the FISU Sport

Education Summit and the FISU Seminars.

With FISU’s motto being "Excellence in Mind and Body", all events include

educational and cultural aspects, bringing together sport and academia from all

over the world to celebrate in a true spirit of friendship and sportsmanship. FISU

cooperates in developing its events and programmes with all major international

sports and educational organisations. As major outcomes of those collaborations,

in 2015, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation

(UNESCO) proclaimed the International Day of University Sport to be celebrated

on 20 September, and the Anti-Doping Textbook and teaching materials were

developed with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

FISU is composed of 170 Member Associations (National University Sports

Federations). The FISU General Assembly elects the members of the FISU

Executive Committee, its board of directors. Fourteen permanent committees

advise the Executive Committee in their specialised areas. For the daily

administration of FISU, the FISU Executive Committee relies on the Secretary

General, who is assisted by the FISU staff. FISU’s headquarters are in Lausanne,

Switzerland.
