ISCA President Mogens Kirkeby and Head of Projects Saska Benedicic Tomat had a full schedule last week when they visited China to meet the Chinese partners of the new EU-supported MOVE Transfer EU-China project. The seven-day trip opened doors not only to a new grassroots sport culture, but to a wealth of new partnerships in Beijing, Nanjing and Hong Kong.

These partnerships span across sectors, from the government ministries to universities, schools and grassroots sport assocations. And the grassroots sport leaders who will be selected for the project’s EU-China exchanges will also get an opportunity to visit some of these sites later in 2019, as well as the MOVE Congress in October.

The first visit was to the Chinese Vice Minister for Sport and World Skate Asia President Mr. Liu Guoyong in Beijing. This was followed by visits to 26 institutions, associations, federations and unions, plus three active schools in Nanjing.

Pictured are some of the highlights from the tour, where ISCA visited the following stakeholders:
