Extensive schedule
For pupils, young people and adolescents
World Table Tennis Championships in Germany are more than 8 days of competitive sports. Whether the Day of Schools, the Days of Volunteer Engagement or One Game. One World. – at the LIEBHERR 2017 WTTC in Düsseldorf, you can find a large supporting programme.
Day of “One Game. One World.”
When: Monday, 29 May
What: Sport has a tremendous integrative power. Regardless what country, culture or milieu people are from, sports can connect them. Table tennis can play an important role then.
To achieve integration instead of exclusion, the DTTB launched the Campaign "One Game. One World.". Motto: Cosmopolitan. Unlimited. Together. Integration. Message: Every person shall have the opportunity to play table tennis – preferably in a club.
DTTB and its campaign partner “Engagement Global”, https://www.engagement-global.de/homepage.html, will offer hands-on activities on 29 May and plans a merry-go-round with celebrities.
Day of Schools
