World Taekwondo reinforces commitment to developing youth taekwondo through MoU with ISF
November 8, 2017 – World Taekwondo today signed a MoU with the International School Sport Federation (ISF) in order to increase collaboration between the two organizations and ensure the continued growth of youth taekwondo around the world.
The MoU was signed by World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue and ISF President Laurent Petrynka during an official signing ceremony at the World Taekwondo office in Lausanne.
The MoU highlights that the two organizations share the same values in respect of solidarity, friendship and youth education and both recognize the role played by sport as a factor in “ensuring the harmonization of socialization, integration and development and education.” The ISF’s mission is to educate through sport and World Taekwondo has shown over the course of its history how the taekwondo philosophy extends beyond the field of play and teaches its practitioners universal values.
The MoU follows the ISF’s announcement that taekwondo has been included on the sports program of the ISF Gymnasiade 2018 in Morocco for the very first time. The Gymnasiade will take place from 2-9 May 2018 in Marrakech, Morocco and will gather young students from all around the world to experience the spirit of international competition, fair play, friendship and cultural diversity.
