Cevnautas, desculpe quem já recebeu o aviso. Congresso sério e importante é assim: anúncio dois anos antes, com tempo para o participante preparar o trabalho, a viagem e a agenda.  No Bananão a despreocupação com essa bobagem de prazo dá vontade de chorar. Congressos vão acontecer daqui a pouco e a gente tem informação nenhuma.

Ai, que preguiça! Laércio

2016 World Leisure Congress | Durban, South Africa

 

The first World Leisure Congress on the African continent will be hosted by the Leisure and Recreation Association of South Africa (LARASA) in Durban, from 27 - 30 June 2016. The aim is to explore the main theme “Challenges, Choices and Consequences” by creating a platform for professionals from diverse fields to interact, share and present a context for leisure services and opportunities. We anticipate speakers and delegates from many countries, communities and academic fields to merge their knowledge by identifying the challenges that confront us, to develop strategies in making the right choices and to achieve positive consequences for all. The benefits of leisure has been widely documented and this congress will highlight the importance of an integrated approach using leisure services to improve the human condition, transform spaces and boost the economy.
