| The 1st School Age Sports Congress was held in October 2005 in Valencia. This event had great repercussions in our city. Over 500 people participated from all over the country and the different reflections that arose from the debate shaped the final "conclusions" document that has served as an example to guide the strategies and activities in Valencian sport in recent years.
The 2nd School Age Sports Congress is included in the Valencian 2011 European Capital of Sport programme and is one of the most significant educational activities. It is of a participatory and informative nature. On organising this from 26th to 28th October 2011, the intention is to help spread the aims and values involved in promoting sport that are proclaimed by ACES, "the value of health, education and fair play." These are aims that are closely linked to sport at school age.
Furthermore, it intends to continue the work begun in the first congress and to continue analysing the real situation around us, looking back to see the track record, analysing the effectiveness of proposals made in the past, getting to know and informing about new initiatives and activities geared towards achieving a common goal: "Promoting sports at school age in general, and specifically improving the educational conditions as regards the activities provided."
