From 21 to 30 April CLAIR Sydney visited Auckland to conduct research about the World Masters Games 2017 in order to help Japanese local governments to prepare for the 2021 World Masters Games in the Kansai region. It is the biggest international multi-sports event for people over the age of 30 (over 25 for some sports), with more than 25,000 athletes from over 100 countries participating this year.
During the event, CLAIR Sydney staff participated in a four-day observer programme and met with representatives from each department of the World Masters Games 2017 office. We also met with staff at Waipa District council to learn more about their efforts as hosts for rowing and track cycling at this year’s games.
We will publish a report about the event in the August edition of our monthly magazine “CLAIR Forum”.
