The United Nation Office of Sport on Development and Peace (UNOSDP) will be organizing Youth Leadership Camp to be held in Gwangju, Republic of Korea (dates to be confirmed) and Sendai, Japan (2 to 15 March 2015).

We have received an invitation from World Taekwondo Federation today for nominations of participants between the ages of 18 to 25 years.

The purpose of the camp is to bring together youth who have the potential to be community leaders in the field of sport for development. The camp will be both, theoretical and practical in nature and provide participants with a toolkit on how sport can be best used to improve the social conditions in the participant’s home communities.

However, each nominee MUST meet the following criteria.

  • The participants should be from the age of 18-25.
  • They should be currently volunteering or working in the sport for development field and involved with community programmes.
  • The participant should have a leadership role within their sport for development organization.
  • Since one of the objectives of the camp is to share best practices and experiences from the field, UNOSDP is looking for young people with great social skills who would be ready to present and share their work in public.
  • Most importantly UNOSDP is looking for participants who are motivated and dedicated to work in the field of sport for development and peace, bringing innovative ideas into their programmes and to this field.
  • Since the official language of the camps is English, it is essential that the candidate has excellent conversational skills in English.
  • There is strength in diversity and therefore we encourage persons with disabilities, people from different cultural backgrounds, with different experiences to come together to teach each other and to learn from one another.

All costs for the participants will be covered. NOTE: This does not include getting to and from airports in the home countries of the participants or the cost of the VISA application process.

Your nomination must be submitted to the STF by Friday 31 October 2014.

Dr Jean-Marie Ayer, Secretary-General of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), on a two-day visit to Singapore. He arrived late evening on 13 October and departed on 15 October 2014.

During his short stay, he paid courtesy call to Mr Ng Ser Miang (IOC Executive Council member and Vice President of the Singapore National Olympic Council) and Mr Bob Gambardella (Chief of Singapore Sports Institute). He was also taken for a tour of the spanking new Sports Hub.

Dr Ayer also visited the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) office where he was briefed by Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, on the development of taekwondo in Singapore and the multifarious programs which were offered to its members.  He was visibly impressed with the status of taekwondo in Singapore.

Showing interest in the further development of sport in Singapore, he asked numerous questions including the future direction of the organization and made several suggestions for the improvement of its elite program.  At the end of the session, Mr Kwee thanked Dr Ayer for his invaluable input.

The STF Management hosted a dinner in honor of Dr Ayer on 14 October 2014.

Age is No Barrier

Age is No Barrier

Johnny Ang Yow Hua, 78, and Wong See Fook, 83, proved that taekwondo is a sport of life. Besides honing their skills regularly by themselves, they enjoyed training with members of TEAMgOLD every Sunday at the National Training Centre.

At their advanced age, they inspired many of the other younger participants with their energy and enthusiasm during training. Most of all, they showed an insatiable appetite to learn more.

Yow Hua and See Fook certainly deserved respect because they could not only perform the various sparring tactics and techniques and poomsae movements almost effortlessly but also outlast some of the ‘younger’ trainees.

Guests at the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) Anniversary Dinner on 21 June 2014 were privileged to watch a scintillating and entertaining performance by the two oldest taekwondo practitioners in Singapore.

In recognition of their technical ability, Yow Hua and See Fook were promoted to 6th and 3rd dan respectively on 7 October 2014. They received their promotion certificates from Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, at the STF Secretariat.

Congratulations to Yow Hua and See Fook on the promotion. The taekwondo community is proud of both of you.
