A HISTORIC FIRST FOR APDSC AT THE 54TH ICSD CONGRESS IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY!
For the first time, APDSC representatives as Vice-President Dennis Tan and Chief Sports Director David Peters attended the 54th ICSD Congress in Budapest, Hungary. This marked an important milestone for APDSC in strengthening its engagement with the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD). The participation provided a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of ICSD's governance, operations, decision-making processes and future direction, while encouraging greater transparency, communication and cooperation. It was also a wonderful opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and build stronger relationships with representatives from other regional Deaf sports organisations, including: 🔹 European Deaf Sports Organisation (EDSO) 🔹 Pan American Deaf Sports Confederation (PANAMDES) 🔹 Confederation of African Deaf Sports (CADS) Through these interactions, APDSC representatives gained valuable insights into regional developments, shared experiences and explored opportunities for stronger international collaboration. This first participation represents an important step towards building mutual understanding, trust, transparency and unity among ICSD and its regional Deaf sports organisations. Together, let us strengthen partnerships and continue advancing the future of Deaf sports across the world!
