The event will bring together a diverse group of participants from across Europe. EJU representatives’ will include Education Director, Ronnie Saez; Education Commissioners, Nuno Delgado and Katja Prodan.

Mrs Prodan shared her enthusiasm ahead of the event:

The upcoming International Training Camp in Paris offers young judoka and their coaches a unique opportunity to enhance their skills while immersing themselves in one of the most prestigious judo competitions, the Paris Grand Slam. Spectators will not only witness world-class judo but can also visit our workshop in the arena hallway, where we will showcase the Jita Kyoei 2 project, sharing its vision and values with the wider judo community to embrace collaboration and mutual benefit. I expect this event to create a meaningful and inspiring environment where young judoka and their coaches can grow both technically and personally.

The Erasmus+ JITA KYOEI 2 project continues to embody its name, “Mutual Welfare and Benefit” by fostering collaboration and growth within the judo community. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this exceptional experience and discover the workshop in the corridor of the Accord Arena.
