Aims and Objectives of the Development Symposium
The first Development Symposium was held in Ireland in 2012. The event was presented as a forum where all Member National Authorities (MNAs) could present and discuss areas of Training and Development and have an input into the overall strategy of World Sailing. Over the years, the Development Symposium has become much, much more. The last 4 events in the USA, Singapore, Argentina and New Zealand saw the structure of the event broaden into an interactive workshop, oriented around Learning, Sharing Networking and Planning, where by invited speakers and delegates themselves had far more opportunity to shape the program to suit their individual needs.
International delegates at this important event receive presentations from a number of Experts in a variety of sport specific disciplines as well as taking part in break-away sessions where they are encouraged to interact with other delegates, often from other Nations. The Development Symposium directly compliments the work of the Development and Regions Committee, with the report from each event helping World Sailing to gather valuable information on how its work can continue to develop, giving those delegates present from New or Emerging Nations, a much needed chance to have their voices heard.
2019 will see the Development Symposium return to Europe, after hosting the first Symposium back in 2012. Discussions will delve into Sailing Initiatives as well as covering a case study on Hungary and their successful use of Olympic Solidarity funding. Other topics will focus on regional development, creating networks and Para Sailing. Guest speakers will also be delivering presentations, with more details on this to be announced soon.
