On 4th October 2014 four representatives of Kychko Taekwon-Do Club from Kiev, Ukraine: Mr. Artem Kychko 2nd Degree, Mr. Artem Noscov 1st Degree, Ms. Yuna Badanina and Ms. Lyuba Myshkina came with a working visit to the AETF HQ.
Master Tadeusz Loboda took advantage of a good weather and went with the guests for a short sightseeing tour around the historical part of Lublin. The tour was concentrated on the events and places that took place in the city and referred to the history of both nations.
In the official part of the meeting the main subject of the discussion was the matters connected to the organization and activity of schools working in the structure of All Europe Taekwon-Do Federation. Also the participation in the upcoming 6th European Cup 2014 in Budapest, Hungary was discussed. AETF HQ’s guests were most of all interested in the ways to increase the numbers of participants on the school level as well as in the methods to enhance the adepts’ motivation for a regular and long-term practice of Taekwon-Do. The meeting was an opportunity to exchange experience in that area. The guests affirmed to use for sure some of the solutions presented. They enjoyed especially the projects about education of small children in the preschool age such as Taekwon-Do Kids as well as the programs dedicated to women e.g.: Safe Woman, Safe Student.
Due to the fact that Polish Taekwon-Do Association had celebrated the 40-years anniversary of establishment Taekwon-Do in Poland, the guests received commemorative gifts prepared on that occasion: umbrella with PTA logo, anniversary medal, dedicated pens and ecologic bags. The representatives have also received some documents that should be helpful in the implementation of some solutions that should increase the effectiveness of the actions taken in clubs. Mr. Kychko and his companions confirmed to receive so much information and declared that they will come back with a pleasure for another visit at AETF HQ and in Lublin in the nearest future.
The meeting finished with a common dinner.
