Get Ready for the Final Project - Worksheet 3

The 8th edition of the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) is scheduled to take place in 2027.
The Commonwealth Sport Committee is holding a round table to decide which sport(s) could be added to its 2027 edition, and how the organisation should be improved, in order to renew public interest in this international event. Young people from various Commonwealth countries are asked to contribute to the debate.
You are part of your country's delegation (Canada, India, England, Australia or Scotland). The delegates are in charge of preparing a convincing contribution that will be presented at the round table.

You must:

• Present and promote a sport and its specificities;
• Explain how you could reduce the cost of the games (2 arguments);
  
• Find ideas to make the CYG as eco-friendly as possible (2-3 suggestions);
• Use the role cards and the worksheets below to get your arguments ready and be convincing! You may have a couple of notes on a small piece of paper;
  
• Then each delegate will participate  in a round table with delegates from the other countries.
