THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will launch the 2021 Indigenous Sports and Games Webinar Series on June 24 with Association for International Sports for All (TAFISA) Secretary-General Wolfgang Baumann serving as resource speaker of the web series.
The webinar, dubbed: “Preserving and Promoting the Rich Cultural Heritage of our Ancestors,” is a follow-up of last October’s activity “Preservation of culture and heritage through Indigenous Sports and Games.”
The forthcoming webinars aim to highlight the rich and colorful culture and traditions of the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) of the country.
PSC Commissioner Charles Raymond Maxey said that he is expecting some 1,000 participants—government officials, IP stakeholders, educators and Indigenous Peoples (IPs).
“We’re going international for our 2021 webinar series. We are very honored and excited to have Secretary-General Baumann as our speaker,” Maxey said.
Maxey said that more virtual activities are scheduled for this year under the Indigenous Peoples Games Program.
“We have already planned a series of webinars for October this year to coincide with the observance of the Indigenous Peoples Month,” Maxey said.
The webinar is held in partnership with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples. The activity, sponsored by Pocari Sweat, will be streamed live via PSC’s social-media pages.
