Successful EDSO seminar for European Deaf Women in Sports and Leadership in Prague, the Czech Republic on 6 - 9 October 2011
17 women from 13 countries from Europe participated in the seminar, among them several young women, the youngest was 22 years old. EDSO President Bjørn Røine and Secretary General Juha-Matti Aaltonen were responsible for the seminar. Therese Rollvén from Sweden was responsible for the programme and chaired the seminar. The former EDSO President Isabelle Malaurie from France also participated.
Each country presented activities of their own country and it was discussed how women in different countries are involved in sports. There were significant differences, but also many similarities. In the programme Bjørn Røine gave a presentation about EDSO history and activities. SWOT -analysis was conducted and discussed in groups.
There were also group discussions on various proposals how to improve the quality of activities of deaf sport organisations. It was also agreed to keep in touch and share experiences with each other in the future.
The seminar was very interesting. Isabelle Malaurie has been an exceptional woman with her long experience in politics and sports, for instance she has served as EDSO President for 6 years. She was an important resource person in the seminar. The spirit of the seminar was very positive the whole time.

1st EC Judo, Rotterdam, Netherlands
CANCELLED
The first European Championships Judo for deaf and hard-of-hearing people has been cancelled.
After previously about 100(!) preliminary entries, at the definitive deadline there were 44 entries.
Too few for a dignified EC, 28 men and 17 women should participate at the EC.
So in some weightclasses there would one or two participants.
And we fears some countries will withdraw their athlethes due to too few participants/matches.
OC deeply regret this, because the organizing budget is all covered.
The Board of the KNDSB and EDSO are also deeply disappointed with this cancellation and the great discrepance between preliminary and definitive entries.
