In order to ease organisation for event planners, already we have sent out three newsletters.
The first summarised the last five editions, announced the new topic of the sixth edition and distributed the WTTD 2019 report as well as the WTTD Toolkit in nine languages. The second newsletter shared different tips to raise the awareness of climate change through table tennis and showed two past WTTD events that have given a very good example.
Our most recent published newsletter revealed how it is possible to have an impact on the ecological environment in the communities by engaging volunteers for your event and how to acquire sponsors.

Translation
Last but not least, because of our friends from Latvia and Ethiopia, we were able to expand our promotional package from nine up to 11 languages, which includes the WTTD logo in different formats usable for your own printing products, e.g. t-shirts, stickers, banners, etc. It means, it is now available in Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Let us help to individualise your event as well! So do not hesitate to send us the translation of your language of:
