2020 editions of FVLA and FISU World Forum to be held online
With the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic having led to the cancellation of most major events worldwide, the next editions of the FISU World Forum and FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy will take place online, rather than onsite.
The FISU World Forum will be held online, from 12-14 August 2020 and more details about the programme, speakers and registration process will be provided in the coming weeks.
Two sessions of the FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy will be held, the first on 22-23 June 2020 and the second, from 4-6 September 2020, with former UNB Reds men’s soccer goalkeeper Kristian D’Amore representing Canada
