The events registered so far involve diverse interest groups, including people with disabilities, the elderly, women and children, assembling in a variety of spaces such as schools, stadiums, beaches, streets and parks.
Among the more ambitious ones are the “come and try” event in Kuala Lumpur and a competition in Singapore, each expected to involve 10,000 participants or more, and Badminton Australia’s “Shuttle Smash Launch”, involving the launch of new government-funded programmes in clubs for children aged between five and 12, with expected participation of 5,000 children.
