Subject: Invitation to collaborate on the application for the UNESCO Chair in Traditional Games and Sports
Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to address you. I am Elizara Carolina Marin, a professor at the Federal University of Paraíba, and I have the honor of collaborating in the preparation of the application for the creation of a UNESCO Chair in Traditional Games and Sports (JET), promoted by the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (INEFC), a leading academic institution linked to the University of Barcelona and the University of Lleida, in Spain.
The objective of this Chair is to recognize and promote traditional games and sports as living intangible cultural heritage, highlighting their capacity to act as educational and social resources with extraordinary transformative potential. The proposal seeks to consolidate itself as an international platform for research, training, and cooperation with the following main goals:
Inventory and recognize representative traditional games and sports in different geographical contexts, valuing their cultural diversity and their social and educational contributions, in order to preserve them as living heritage.
Design, implement, and evaluate training programs and research actions that offer solid scientific evidence on the contribution of these games to the construction of more peaceful, inclusive, and egalitarian societies, within the framework of quality physical education.
Strengthen international cooperation, positioning traditional games and sports as catalysts for inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and sustainable development.
The Chair has a global vocation and plans to develop actions in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, promoting research projects, training, and cooperation networks that integrate the cultural richness of each continent.
In this context, we are pleased to invite your organization to evaluate the possibility of collaborating on this application. If you are interested, we would appreciate knowing what types of actions you could be involved in, such as:
Inventory of traditional games and sports in your region.
Conducting simple research, focusing on some of these themes according to your preference: intercultural dialogue, peaceful coexistence, gender equality, social inclusion, sustainability, or conflict transformation.
Training, supporting the organization of in-person and virtual seminars or courses.
Dissemination of results through social media, joint publications, or the production of awareness-raising materials.
Networking, facilitating links with associations or institutions in your area.
If your institution wishes to collaborate, we would be very grateful to receive a letter of support, indicating the areas of activity in which they could intervene. If the application is approved, your organization would be recognized as a partner entity of the UNESCO Chair, which would strengthen the association's international projection and open new opportunities for academic and social cooperation.
Finally, we would be very grateful if you could send your response by November 5th.
With esteem and consideration,
Elizara Carolina Marin
