The International Delphic Council (IDC) is a charitable, non-governmental organization (NGO). According to the official website, IDC is the highest authority for all matters regarding the Delphic Games of the modern era, both for youth and for adult.[1] The headquarters of the IDC is in Berlin, Germany.

Historical reference

The Delphic Games of the modern era trace back to the ancient Greece traditional Pythian Games of Delphi as a symbol for peace. These Games were between artists and ethnic cultural groups. They took place each year preceding to the Olympic Games. The historic Pythian Games in Delphi can be traced as far back as 2,600 years ago. The spiritual leaders form the Pan-Hellenic to perform what they can, such as wonders, theatre, music, poetry to praise the god Apollo of wonderful light, the symbol of the Oracles. The Pythian Games were one of the four Panhellenic Games, a forerunner of the modern Olympic Games, held every four years at the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi.[2]

After the revival of the Olympic Games at the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin from 1912 to 1948 were held in different countries around the world Art competitions at the Olympic Games. Competitions in various forms of art were thematically related exclusively to the sport.

Also in the first half of the 20th century, there was a move to revive the Pythian Games at Delphi again, thanks to the initiative by the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos.[3] In 1927, the Delphic Festival was held for the first time, but the revival was then abandoned due to the excessive costs of organizing it, but at the present time there are in Delphi annually summer Delphic Festivals, focused largely on tourists.[4]

Founding of the international Delphic organization

IX. Vorstandstreffen des IDC in Berlin / Germany, Januar 2007

The International Delphic Council (IDC) was founded in 1994 – 100 years after formation of the International Olympic Committee. The founder Mr. J. Christian B. Kirsch invited people from eighteen Nations of five continents to Berlin to the founding congress in Schönhausen Palace aiming to revive the Delphic Games and providing an unique forum for worldwide arts and culture.[5] The founding countries were Argentina, Austria, China, Cyprus, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Kazakhstan, Libya, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, United States,[6][7][8],.[9] In the Russian press this organization was originally called "International Delphic Committee", as evidenced by the quotes from the press 1995 - 1996.[10]

The symbolics of the International Delphic Movement reminds of the Olympic symbolics. The flag with the Delphic rings that are connected in a circle like a flower, was designed by Christian Kirsch [6] and symbolizes the connection of the six Delphic art categories.

The first president of the IDC was Hon. Mrs. Ebun A. Oyagbola of Nigeria, the General Secretary and Founder is Mr. J. Christian B. Kirsch, Germany and the present President is Mrs. Prof. Divina Bautista, Philippines since 2009 in office,[11][12],,.[13][14]

Following the old Grecian pattern Amphictyonic League, the IDC Executive Board received since 2001 the same name - Amphictyony. The Board is elected for two years by the General Assembly of the IDC. On the IX. Session of the IDC in Jeju, Korea, the current Executive Board (Amphictyony) was elected.[15]

The International Delphic Council has also Delphic Ambassadors, including famous people like Nelson Mandela (South Africa), Lothar de Maizière (Germany).

Just as for the International Olympic Committee, the private sector is for the International Delphic Council the only source of financing. One can not say that large sponsors immediately expressed their willingness to support this new initiative.[16] That is the reason why the host country of the Delphic Games is not just looking for private sponsors, but in addition depends on the financial governmental support.

Founding of the national Delphic organizations

The International Delphic Council (IDC) is the co-ordinator and chief executive body of the worldwide Delphic Network. The member countries will establish national Delphic organisations (council, committee, association, union, etc.) which will coordinate with the IDC to promote and organize the Delphic Games. They receive from the IDC, the confirmation of admission after the official registration in the country.[17] There are most important requirements in two statutes - both national and international organizations - for successful cooperation.[18]

After 1994, these countries Belarus, Deutschland, Georgia (country), Greece, China, Japan, Nigeria, Philippines, Russia and USA were in the establishment of the National Delphic organizations particularly active.[19] The first regional Youth Delphic Games were held in Georgia, Albania and Russia.[20]

The National Delphic organizations design their own logo, which includes some of the IDC-symbolics.[21] In preparation of the national qualifications specially designed logos of these national games, which are endorsed by IDC.[22][23]

The decision on the venue of the next Delphic Games will be taken by vote of the members of the IDC Board at an extraordinary meeting.

The national Delphic organization of the host country together with IDC prepare for holding Delphic Games. This initiative has received many greetings from around the world, among other from Yehudi Menuhin,[24] and Elena Obraztsova [25] und so weiter.

The National Delphic organizations of host countries produce after meeting with the IDC thematic posters, brochures, stamps and other products that are dedicated to the Delphic Games and the IDC Congress. The host country for the event can get support from international organizations and by its Parliament or the government.

IDC and NDC Russia

The National Delphic Council of Russia (NDC Russia) held its founding in December 1998, at conference in Kursk, where Secretary General of the IDC Christian Kirsch participated. 19 March 1999 was NDC Russia at the Ministry of Justice registered, and soon afterwards officially recorded in the International Delphic Council recorded, according to IDC-status.

26 June 2000, the Head of NDC Russia V.Ponyavin turned to the Secretary General of the IDC C. Kirsch, with the request, the first Delphic Games for adult in Moscow from 1 to 10 December 2000 let to hold.[26]

Later, however, has the NDC Russia from the International Delphic Council separated, and now Russian websites and Pressa claim, the Delphic idea would be revived in 2000 by Russians.[27][28]

Despite the withdrawal of the National Delphic Council from the International Delphic Council, the Russian delegations took part in the International Delphic Games in 2007 and 2009.[29][30][31] This confirm also the illustrated Delphic calendars.[32][33]
