The CSIT (CONFÉDÉRATION SPORTIVE INTERNATIONALE TRAVAILLISTE ET AMATEUR) as international multi-sports organisation has been founded 1913 in Ghent/Belgium and was based on the historic ideas of the international labour movement.
Nowadays the main activities are organizing sports events, more precisely Sport for All – Games for amateurs & workers, competitive & non-competitive, for young & old, men & women from all over the world; sports events considered as festivals of friendship, cultural exchange, tolerance, respect, sustainability & fair play, simultaneously opened to an unlimited size of participants; welcoming CSIT members, non-member organisations, cooperation partners, governmental bodies, trade unions and business companies with sports activities for employees worldwide.
Background
The obligations of the CSIT are becoming increasingly important in these terms, when commercialisation and the lack of facilities and economic resources are reducing sports to passive entertainment for the vast majority of people.
The CSIT is an organisation which aims at promoting and broadening amateurs’ & workers’ sport activities and thus develop into a world-wide movement. All these activities will support our aspirations for democracy, solidarity and improving the quality of life through sport. This movement should encompass all sports federations and hence will be able to provide better opportunities for varied physical exercise for all citizens.
The CSIT stands for the promotion of tolerance, respect, fair play, friendship, intercultural dialog and integration through sport. A ‘zero tolerance’ – Policy towards discrimination, violence, fanatic behavior and racism is pursued accurately.
