During the three-day event, TAFISA hosted a session on 'Activating Cities for a Better World'. This insightful session was moderated by Gaëtan Garcia, Head of Operations at TAFISA, and featured distinguished speakers who shed light on empowering cities for a healthier world.

TAFISA President, Wolfgang Baumann, took the stage to present an engaging introduction on 'Activating Cities within Mission 2030: For a Better World Through Sport for All', which was then followed by a keynote speech from Alister Dalrymple, Secretary General of Evaleo, who shared insights on 'The Global Active City Project: Supporting Cities Reach Their Full Potential'. 

One of the session's highlights was the presentation of three case studies from the city of Hamburg, Lillehammer, and Graz. Each case study showcased unique strategies and initiatives that have successfully integrated sports and physical activity into urban life, promoting healthier lifestyles and fostering inclusive communities.
