ITIC Paris and FADAM: a graduation ceremony focused on the future and the FADAM World Games 2027
As sponsor of the ITIC Paris 2025 graduation ceremony, Dominique Saatenang, President of FADAM, addressed the young graduates with a message of ambition and perseverance. This significant event perfectly illustrates the partnership between the two organizations and their shared commitment to involving young people in the dynamics of the FADAM World Games 2027.
An inspiring message addressed to the new generation
During the ceremony, Master Dominique Saatenang looked back on his own journey, from his childhood in a village in Cameroon to Shaolin, then to his title of world kung-fu champion and the creation of FADAM.
He summarizes this journey through three values that have guided him for many years:
DVD — Discipline, Willpower, Determination.
"Your starting point should never become the frontier of your destination," he reminded the graduates, inviting them to demonstrate ambition, boldness, and perseverance.
For the President of FADAM, the diploma is not a finish line, but the beginning of a new stage where knowledge must be transformed into experiences and projects.
ITIC Paris and FADAM: an action-oriented partnership
This ceremony is fully in line with the partnership between ITIC Paris and FADAM.
Having become the Official Campus of the FADAM World Games 2027 , the school participates in a common dynamic aimed at bringing together training, professional experience and international projects.
Master Dominique Saatenang reminded us of this during his speech:
"I don't want students to simply be spectators at the FADAM World Games. I want them to be able to become active participants."
Communication, marketing, digital, audiovisual, event management, project management or international relations: the skills developed at ITIC Paris can thus find a concrete application in the preparation and promotion of the Games.
The FADAM World Games 2027: uniting skills around an international project
Through this partnership, FADAM confirms its commitment to building the FADAM World Games 2027 by uniting schools, institutions, sports organizations, economic actors and partners around a common project.
The Games go beyond the mere framework of sporting competition. They carry a broader ambition: to make martial arts, combat sports and traditional sports vehicles for transmission, inclusion, intercultural dialogue and bringing people closer together.
This vision is also in line with the values promoted by FADAM in the context of its cooperation with UNESCO's Fit for Life Alliance.
Each partnership thus strengthens the international ecosystem that is being built around the 2027 Games.
From training to international experience
The partnership between ITIC Paris and FADAM is part of a vision that goes beyond the 2027 edition alone.
The FADAM World Games are intended to develop over time and travel to different countries, ultimately opening up new perspectives for the students involved in the project.
The goal: to no longer just learn about international affairs, but to experience international affairs.
This dynamic also relies on the importance of meetings, a central theme of the President's speech:
"Never underestimate an encounter."
The partnership between ITIC Paris and FADAM itself arose from this logic, gradually transformed into a structured and forward-looking collaboration.
Today's talents, the architects of tomorrow's projects
During the ceremony, Master Dominique Saatenang also wished to highlight excellence and the transmission of knowledge.
The top students of the class of 2025 will receive a VIP invitation to the opening and closing ceremonies of the FADAM World Games 2027. Teachers who have been particularly dedicated to this class will also be included in this recognition.
A way of remembering that behind every success lies both individual work and those who support, train and pass on knowledge.
The President of FADAM addressed a final message to the graduates:
"Don't just be today's graduates. Become tomorrow's leaders."
An ambition that fully sums up the spirit of the partnership between FADAM and ITIC Paris: to enable young people to move from learning to action and to take their full place in the major projects of tomorrow.
