WTTD Promoters' Journey So Far

Since 2021, the WTTD Promoters initiative has grown stronger every year. We have worked with 128 Promoters from around the world who use table tennis to raise awareness of social issues and make positive changes through WTTD celebrations.

These changemakers have built meaningful celebrations with sustainable activities and local partnerships using table tennis to raise awareness on key social issues like Diversity and Inclusion.

"Despite the challenges in Venezuela, I am convinced that we are not alone, and there is always the opportunity to promote diversity and inclusion. Through table tennis, I have learned that, despite the discrimination I have faced, I can educate others and help prevent exclusion based on sexual orientation, gender identity, race, or economic status. Overcoming ignorance and lack of education was my greatest challenge, but I am proud that the WTTD 2024 Celebrations in Venezuela were a success with people focusing on my work rather than my appearance."

Samantha Aleska Seijas Carrillo, WTTD Promoter 2024 from Venezuela
