Proposals are welcome from all backgrounds and communities, with the hope that our gathering can be a truly global and diverse meeting:

In Africa, political power as well as the influence of non-state groups and corporations (national and international) in decision-making, have the potential of abusing their prerogatives, thus compromising ethical values such as probity, fair play, respect for others and the rules, solidarity and honor, leading to blatant inequalities and corruption that benefit particular interests.

The human body is the center of all physical activity, and since prehistoric times, individuals have engaged with and understood their bodies in various ways. Humans have utilized their bodies for movement, social interaction, competition, and the construction of personal identity. Throughout history, the perception and representation of the body have evolved, influenced by a multitude of social, economic, political, and cultural changes. In the context of physical education and sport, the body represents not only biological functions and individual performance but also encompasses broader dimensions of identity and expression.
