KGL Global Event 2020 – Update (14/09/2020)

—

ITA/KGL has carried out an assessment of the current situation globally in relation to scheduling dates for the KGL Global Event 2020.  The conclusion of this analysis demonstrates that with COVID-19 spread still active the disruptions caused by the pandemic are still very significant and are not conducive to holding a global event over the coming weeks.

—

The Global Event is seen as a special event for all KGL participants, country partners, and teachers, but the health and safety of all has to be our priority during this uncertain time. Additionally, travel and visa restrictions are a challenge which many participant countries face at this time.

—

It is of primary importance that finalists in 2020 can still attend the Global Event as well as compete for the 2020 Global Winner Awards and are not disadvantaged due to current arrangements.  The International Testing Authority has announced the postponement of the KGL Global Event 2020 and plans to hold a joint event for 2020 and 2021. The new arrangements are based on the assumption that restrictions regarding the Covid 19 pandemic will have been eased by that time and that travel and events can take place without significant risk.
