1.0 A 25 YEAR GAMES LEGACY FOR ALL…

The Youth Charter is a UK registered charity, UN accredited non-governmental organisation and is a 25 Year Games Legacy of Manchester’s bid for the 2000 Olympic Games and the hosting of the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games.

The Youth Charter has campaigned and promoted the role and value of sport, arts and cultural activity in the lives of disaffected young people from disadvantaged communities nationally and internationally.

The Youth Charter has a proven track record in the creation and delivery of social and human development legacy projects and programmes with the overall aim of providing young people with an opportunity through sport, art and cultural activity to develop in life.

Through our work, we have pioneered three core youth and community development programmes:

• Community Campus – Somewhere to Go • Youthwise “Curriculum for Life” – Something to Do • Social Coach Leadership Programme – Someone to Show Them

1

2

The Youth Charter Community Campus has been developed as a result of the agency’s work in communities, urban, suburban and rural, locally, nationally and internationally. As part of 25 years of bidding, hosting and legacy of major games, the community campus provides a coordinated and holistic approach in the devel-opment, delivery and sustainability of young people and communities within the regeneration and renewal strategies of public, private and third sector agencies.

What is a Community Campus?

A Community Campus is made up of 7 key facilities, such as, schools, community centres, youth clubs, sports centres, further and higher education institutions or any facility delivering a youth cultural engagement provision. Each facility is quality assured in the delivery of the Social Coach Leadership Programme and the Youthwise offer.

How does it work?

The Community Campus has three main elements:

1. ENGAGE, motivate and inspire young people in the classroom, in the playground and beyond the school gate to be more mentally, physically and emotionally active

2. EQUIP young people with life skills, resilience and tools required to enable them to develop the rights and responsibilities of global citizenship though our digital programme.

3. EMPOWER young people with aspirational hope and opportunity through further and higher education, employability and entrepreneurship, which will be taken forward and delivered as the final stage of the project.

1.1 COMMUNITY CAMPUS MODEL

The Youth Charter Community Campus Model provides a Legacy Cultural Framework for the delivery of ‘Sport Development in the Community’ and ‘Community Development through Sport’ programmes with social, cultur-al and economic outputs and outcomes.

The outputs and outcomes of the Youth Charter Community Campus and Legacy Cultural Framework are measured against the following Legacy Development Goals (LDGs):

1. EDUCATION - attendance, attainment and performance 2. HEALTH - physical activity, wellbeing and active lifestyle 3. SOCIAL ORDER - civic rights and responsibilities 4. ENVIRONMENT - community cohesion and quality of life 5. VOCATION, TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT AND ENTERPRISE

The Youth Charter Legacy Development Goals are underpinned by:

• COLLABORATION & PARTNERSHIP • EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION

The Youth Charter Legacy Development Goals are directly linked to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

1.2 LEGACY CULTURAL FRAMEWORK

1.3 RESEARCHThe Youth Charter has produced, contributed to, and participated in:

• 23 Youth Charter Reports (produced) • 31 External Reports and Government Publications (contributed to) • 205 Conferences and Events (participated in)

The Youth Charter has produced five Games Legacy Impact reports since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics:

• YC 2012 Games Legacy Report (2013) • YC Glasgow 2014 Legacy Forum Report (2014) • YC ‘21’ Soccerwise Report (2014) • YC ‘22’ Tenniwise Report (2015) • YC 2016 Games Legacy Impact Report (2017)

2.0 INTRODUCTION: INVESTMENT & EQUALITY IN BRITISH SPORT

“We’re funding elite sports for elites.”MP Alex Sobel

The Youth Charter 2018 Games Legacy Impact Summary Report is focused on the following two recommendations:

1. Investment Model and Framework for British and World Sport 2. Sports funding linked directly to Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation

The success of the Olympic Team GB at Pyeongchang 2018 saw a record five medals won at a cost of:

• £28.21million for 58 sports and 5 national governing bodies of sport • £5.64million per medal • £486,000 per athlete

In response the Youth Charter would like to ask:

• Is this value for money? • Will this help improve school sport? • Will this help address the UK’s health challenges? • Will this help address the UK’s youth crime and violence challenges?

The funding issue has best been highlighted by the plight of Basketball, a mass participation and inclusive sport, that has had its funding cut. This issue was raised in parliament Labour MP Alex Sobel, who said:

“Teams like those in disadvantaged communities in Sheffield, in Leeds, in London, and in other urban cen-tres, have high aspirations and want one day to play for our national team. UK Sport recently announced £226 million ($316 million/€256 million) for Olympic eligible sports until 2021 including £14.5 million ($20 milion/€16

million) for equestrian sports, £25.5 million ($35 million/€28 million) for sailing and over £6 million ($8 mil-lion/€6 million for modern pentathlon - a sport that requires a horse, a sword and a gun. None of these sports

are within reach of the young people we see playing basketball.We’re funding elite sports for elites.”

This was supported by Labour MP David Lammy, who said:

“This [basketball] is an urban sport, and one which attracts black, Asian and minority ethnic communities in large numbers. Why is it, then, that hockey received £28.1 million ($39 million/€31 million) and rugby league received £51.6 million ($72 million/€58 million)? Why is it that canoeing, equestrian, rowing and cycling all do

so much better? Where is the equity in that formula?”1


Geoff Thompson is Founder and Executive Chair of the Youth Charter (www.youthcharter.co.uk), a UK registered charity and United Nations Non Governmental Organisation established in 1993. He is a former five times World Karate Champion and one of the leading youth activists and experts in sports development and politics with over 25-years’ experience in the bidding, hosting and legacy of major games and the positive impact of sport, arts, culture and technology in the social and human development of young people and communities.

1 British politicians demand funding reform after basketball cuts, (2018), by Thomas Giles, Inside the Games https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1061783/british-politicians-demand-funding-reform-after-basketball-cuts

An investment model and framework for British sport is required to ensure so that we can maximise equality, diversity, inclusion and participation in British sport.

The current funding structures within British Sport are fragmented and do not follow a clear and cohesive funding model and framework. This is best highlighted by elite sport funding from UK Sport, which is based solely on medals and has no link to increasing participation, and the participation funding of Sport England. There is also School Sport, the Football Foundation, National Governing Bodies of Sport and Professional Sport.

The fact there is no clear and cohesive funding model for sport means that with each funding cycle an-nounced by Sport England and UK Sport there are large fluctuations in investment between sports and in grassroots sports.

Basketball, a mass participation sport which is ‘very accessible’ and has ‘very high potential for social im-pact’, has had its funding cut by UK Sport. Whilst sports such as Bobsleigh and Skeleton, Rowing and Sailing, which are ‘difficult to access’ with ‘low potential for social impact’ continue to be provided with tens of millions by UK Sport.

The Government, through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, needs to provide a clear and cohesive funding model from grassroots participation to elite sport. This should include:

• Professional Sport • Governing Bodies of Sport • Government funding sources – including education, health, youth justice, facility development and employment training

A proportional funding model would see large amount of investment at the foundation base of the sports development pyramid which represents mass participation in grass roots sports and physical activity. Invest-ment at Grassroots/Foundation level, includes:

1. School Sport 2. Community Sports Clubs 3. Community Sports 4. Informal Sport & Physical Activity – including cycling, walking and swimming

The 2010 Voluntary Code of Conduct for Rights Owners2 provides the opportunity for the development of a funding model that links professional sport and community sport. The Voluntary Code included:

• Reinvestment – Putting a minimum of thirty per cent of their net UK broadcasting revenue back into the long-term development of their sport.

The Premier League is a co-signatory of the Voluntary Code of Conduct for Rights Owners, but they only signed up to the Accessibility Principle of the Code and not the Full Code. Had the Premier League provid-ed 30% of its £10.4bn TV Revenues for 2016/17 to 2018/19 to the ‘long-term development of their sport’, this could have generated £3bn for a joined-up funding system for sport for 2016-19, which is £2bn more than the £1bn UK Sport and Sport England public spending for 2016-20.

For a more detailed analysis of ‘Investment in British Sport’ please see section 11.0 of the Youth Charter 2016 Games Legacy Impact Report, which can be provided on request.

3.0 SPORT FOR All: AN EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND PARTICIPATION (EDIP) FRAMEWORK

“I feel like they are trying to rip the GB shirts off me and my team-mates’ backs. Just look at the athletes on the basketball teams -

a lot of us are from ethnic minorities and/or grew up in working-class households.”Temi Fagbenle, GB Basketball

The Youth Charter Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation (EDIP) regularity and ethical Framework reflects the Youth Charter philosophy, mission aims and objectives of sport, arts and cultural activity as funda-mental human rights and responsibilities for the young people and communities that we aim to engage, equip and empower through our projects, programmes, initiatives and advocacy irrespective of where you come from, what you look like, what you believe in and what you sound like.

The EDIP Framework delivers the Community Campus model, Social Coach Leadership Programme, Youth-wise Initiative and Code for Youth digital governance and due diligence of our ability to map, track and measure the social, cultural and economic outputs and outcomes of our approach within our partnerships and networks locally and globally.

Sport for All as a Human Right is recognised as a Fundamental Principle of Olympism by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the Olympic Charter3:

4. The practice of sport is a human right.

This is further supported to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights4 and the following articles:

Article 25 1. Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family.Article 27 1. Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits

And the Convention on the Rights of the Child5:

Article 31 1. States Parties recognize the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts. 2. States Parties shall respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and artistic life and shall encourage the provision of appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activity.

3.1 THE POTENTIAL SOCIAL IMPACT OF OLYMPIC SPORTS/DISCIPLINES

7

8

As part of a Funding Model for Sport the potential social impact of sport should be used in the allo-cation of financial resources.

Winter Olympic Sports can be classified as ‘Adventure Sports’ that are ‘Difficult to Access’ for most people, due to cost of and access to:

• Facilities • Equipment

These sports have ‘Low potential for Social Impact’ for helping to improve education, health and community cohesion. However, Adventure Sports, could be included within a Whole Sport Plan, as part of ‘Learn as You Earn’ reward activities for Children and Young People for good attendance, behaviour and performance in the classroom, playground and beyond the school gate.

The Youth Charter has used the following areas and factors to further categorise each Tokyo 2020 Olympic sport/discipline for their potential social impact on youth and communities:

Table 1: Areas and Factors for Potential Social Impact of SportArea Factors

Physical Literacy / Active Lifestyle

Sport and Physical Activity participation is shaped by early childhood experiences and the development of physical literacy. Gymnastics provides the most basic form of developing physical literacy in early child-hood.

Life Skills /Active Lifestyle

Running, swimming and self-defence are all life skills which can help save lives and develop active life-styles. Cycling is a life skill that can improve personal health and the environment.

Social Skills Basic interaction, communication, team building and conflict resolution skills can all be developed through participation in competitive and team sports.

Accessibility The access to equipment and facilities will ultimately determine opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity.

The Youth Charter’s potential for social impact classification of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Sports/Disciplines is as follows:

Table 2: Categories of Olympic Sports (Tokyo 2020) with ‘Very High’ and ‘High’ Potential for Social Impact

Very High (Very Accessible)

Winter Olympic Sports

The Youth Charter has analysed Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation of Team GB at the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in the following areas:

1. Social Mobility - % of Olympic Team GB Athletes who attended State Secondary Schools compared with 93% of UK population who attended State Secondary Schools.* 2. Gender Equality - % of Female Olympic & Paralympic Team GB Athletes with target of 50% Male/ Female athletes 3. Racial Equality - % of Team GB Athletes from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds compared with 12.9% of UK Population for BAME backgrounds6

*We could not find sufficient number of schools of Olympic and Paralympic Team GB athletes for this to be used for our Social Mobility analysis, this is something that British Olympic Association should make available via the Team GB website.

Instead we have used:

• Birth Place/Hometown analysis of Team GB Olympic and Paralympic Athletes to show the regional distribution of athletes in the UK.7

The Youth Charter has also provided a global analysis of the athlete and medals using the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI).8

4.0 GREATER MANCHESTER GAMES LEGACY CITY: OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC TEAM GB ATHLETES

The Youth Charter found only 1 athlete from Greater Manchester who participated at Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games:

• Lamin Deen, Bobsleigh athlete, who was born in London but grew up in south Manchester and was educated at Burnage High School in Manchester

The Team GB success at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic was celebrated in Manchester with a Home Coming Parade, but how many of these athletes were born or educated in Great Manchester?

The Youth Charter has analysed both the number of Team GB athletes from Greater Manchester for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our analysis found that Greater Manchester had significantly less than there expected proportional share of Team GB athletes. Most notable was:

• 0 Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority Athletes from Greater Manchester • 0 Athletes educated at states schools in Manchester, Oldham, Tameside, Trafford or Salford (1 in Rochdale but she moved from South Africa aged 13)

4.1 GREATER MANCHESTER: OLYMPIC ATHLETES

• £1.9m for Salt Lake City 2002 to • £28.21m for Pyeongchang 2018

However, the number of athletes has only increased by one third from:

• 43 for Salt Lake City 2002 to • 58 for Pyeongchang 2018

This has seen a cost per athlete increase of 11 times from:

• £44,000 for Salt Lake City 2002 to • £486,000 for Pyeongchang 2018

Whilst the per athlete funding has increased by 11 times, the number of medals won has only increased by 1.5 times, from:


The cost per medal increased nearly six times from:

• £0.95million at Salt Lake City 2002 to • £5.53million at Turin 2006 and • £5.64million at Pyeongchang 2018

The Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association has been the largest recipient of UK Sport funding with a total of:

• £23.74million for 2002 to 2018 and • £11.55million for Pyeongchang 2018

However, despite receiving £11.55million for Pyeongchang 2018, two of their female athletes, Mica McNeil and Mic Moore, had to organise a crowdfunding campaign10 in order to compete at the games and managed to finish 5th, the fully funded male team which only finished 17th and 18th11.

The Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association cost per athlete has increased 7.5 times from:

• £96,500 for Salt Lake City 2002 to • £722,068 for Pyeongchang 2018

The Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association cost per medal has increased nearly 6.5 times from:

• £1.06million for Salt Lake City 2002 to • £6.75million for Sochi 2014

This decreased by nearly half to:

• £3.85million for Pyeongchang 2018

6.0 OLYMPIC TEAM GB 2018: EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND PARTICIPATION (EDIP)

For a detailed explanation of the Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation (EDIP) Framework, please see section 3.0.

6.1 SOCIAL MOBILITY

The Youth Charter could not locate enough of the secondary schools attended by Olympic Team GB athletes to provide a detailed and thorough analysis for social mobility.

Instead the Youth Charter has completed an analysis of the proportional regional distribution of Team GB athletes that competed at Pyeongchang 2018.

As could be expected Scotland had the largest number of Team GB Athletes for the Pyeongchang 2018 Win-ter Olympics. The 16 Athletes from Scotland was 11 above the 5 expected proportional regional share of the 58 Team GB athletes.

The South East of England had the next highest number of athletes, with 10 which was 2 more than there expected proportional share of 8. The south of England is not a natural environment for a winter Olympian and to take part in winter sports in this region you would have come from a more affluent background, especially, when you add the cost of travel to that of equipment and facilities.

There were 6 Olympic Team GB athletes who were born outside of the UK, which was 10.3% of the total 58 athletes, and more than the number of athletes from 7 of the 11 UK regions and countries.

Northern Ireland had no athletes represented in the Team GB at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.

6.3 RACIAL EQUALITYFor Racial Equality between Olympic Team at Salt Lake City 2002 and Pyeongchang 2018 the Youth Charter the Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority (BAME) representation was well below the nation 12.9% UK BAME Population. There was an increase from:

• 4.9% at Salt Lake City 2002 to • 8.6% at Pyeongchang 2018

However, nearly all 11 Team GB BAME athletes having competed in Bobsleigh events. There was 1 speed skating athlete from a BAME background who competed at Salt Lake City 2002.

It is also worth noting that whilst all the BAME representation was in Team GB Bobsleigh team at Pyeongchang 2018, the Bobsleigh team was rocked by accusations of sexism, bullying and racism12.

8.3 RACIAL EQUALITY 9.0 UN IOC ACCORD: DELIVERING SDG 17 - PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

The United Nations (UN) relationship with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) dates back as far as 1922 when institutional cooperation was established between the IOC and the UN International Labour Or-ganisation (ILO). This was reinforced through further partnerships with other UN system partners.13

The IOC and UN launched the Olympic Truce appeal in 1993, with the UN General Assembly now unani-mously adopting a resolution entitled “Building a peaceful and better world through sport and the Olympic ideal” every two years, one year before each summer and winter Olympic games.14

In 2009 the IOC was granted official UN observer status. The observer status allows the IOC to take to the floor at the UN General Assembly and participate in consultation meetings. The UN General Assembly has adopted the Olympic Truce Resolution, which provides UN Member States with the opportunity to promote peace throughout the duration of the Games.15

At the September 2010 UN Millennium Development Goals review summit in New York, the role of sport pro-moting “cooperation and solidarity, tolerance, understanding, social inclusion, and health, at local, national, and international levels” was a key subject area.16

In 2014 the IOC and UN called for sporting initiatives to promote social integration and economic develop-ment .

The 70th session of the UN General Assembly in 2015 recognised the “valuable tool in the achievement of peace and development”. A new resolution, entitled “Building a peaceful and better world through sport and the Olympic ideal”, was adopted by the assembly. The resolution calls for cooperation among UN member states and the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees to maximise the potential of sport in con-tributing to the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development programme. IOC president, Thomas Bach, said that Olympic Agenda 2020 will fully support the delivery of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.17

Possibly the most important UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of all is the final 17th Goal:

• Partnerships for the Goals

The now well-established UN IOC Accord is the most obvious, and potentially most high-profile, global sustainable development partnership.

9.1 UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25th September 201518.

The role of sport in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals was recognised in the Declaration of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development19, which stated:

“Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize the growing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect and the contribu-tions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities as well as to

health, education and social inclusion objectives.”

There are 17 UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals:

1. NO POVERTY

2. ZERO HUNGER

3. GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

4. QUALITY EDUCATION

5. GENDER EQUALITY

6. CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

7. AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY

8. DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

9. INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

10. REDUCED INEQUALITIES

11. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

13. CLIMATE ACTION

14. LIFE BELOW WATER

15. LIFE ON LAND

16. PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS

17. PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

9.2 UN OFFICE OF SPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE

The establishment of the UNOSDP started in 2001, when the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, appointed the 1st Special Advisor on Sport for Development Peace, Mr. Adolf Ogi. This was followed shortly after by the establishment of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Sport for Development and Peace in 2004. In 2014, the first International Day for Sport and Development and Peace was held and is now an annual event.

The UNOSDP has the role and duty in recognising the importance of sustaining momentum around the devel-opment potential of sport in the following areas:

1. Advocacy & Guidance 2. Facilitation and Coordination

9.3 IOC PROMOTE OLYMPISM IN SOCIETY

“Our mission as sports leaders must be to get more young people to step away from their computers, put down their mobile devices, and engage in physical activity. If young people will not come to sport then we

need to go to them.”- Thomas Bach, IOC President

The IOC Promoting Olympism in Society programme includes:

• Sport and Active Society • Women in Sport• Education through Sport • Social Development through Sport• Olympic Truce • Cooperation with the UN• Olympic Studies Centre • Olympic Day

In addition to this are the following related programmes:

• Olympic Solidarity • Sustainability Initiatives• Olympic Legacy • International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

The IOC has identified four United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which it believes sport can help deliver:

• UN SDG 3: Ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages • UN SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls • UN SDG 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable • UN SDG 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development

The IOC uses its Olympic Solidarity programme to provide support to all National Olympic Committees (NOCs), with a particular focus on the NOCs with the greatest need. This includes support for athlete devel-opment, training of coaches and sports administrators and promoting Olympic ideals.

12.0 CONCLUSION: A LEGACY OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL...

The Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics opened and closed with a message of sport for development and peace22 on the Korean Peninsula, showing “how sport builds bridges” in “our fragile world”23, and with a re-cord 65.2 million refugees and displaced peoples24, the delivery of an Olympic Truce25 is required more than ever before.

The Modern Olympic Movement was founded by Pierre de Courbertin in 1896, a French educator and histo-rian, with much of his philosophy for the modern Olympic movement developed during visits to 19th Century Britain26. Baron de Courbertin’s most notable influence was Dr. William Penny Brookes and his Wenlock Olym-pian Society, which was established in 1850 with the aim to:

• “promote the moral, physical and intellectual improvement of the inhabitants of the Town and neighbourhood of Wenlock”27

The IOC’s Olympic Charter states that the Fundamental Principles of Olympism is:

“Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy

of effort, the educational value of good example, social responsibility and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.”28

These basic moral and ethical Fundamental Principles of Olympism are often lost in our competitive global society, but they still provide the opportunity to Promote Olympism in Society29. Olympism can be embedded within the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through the Sport for Development and Peace movement/sector and the delivery of a Legacy Opportunity for All.

For this to be achieved in the United Kingdom, an ‘Investment Model and Framework for British Sport’ that is linked directly linked to Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation is urgently required. Such a model and framework would also be applicable globally to the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through the sport for development and peace movement/sector. To this end the UK can help to lead the way for the delivery of a #LegacyOpportunity4All…

“Youth has so many options for (their) leisure time. We can’t wait for young people to come to our sports.

Sport has to be where they are.”- Thomas Bach, IOC President

“The Youth Charter’s 2016 Games Legacy Impact Report recommendations reflect the Olympic and Paralympic values and I firmly believe they should be taken as seriously as the young people and communi-

ties that have been consulted. The recommendations are bold, commonsense and real.”- Sir Philip Craven MBE, International Paralympic Chair and IOC Member

Our Philosophy“Sport is an order of chivalry, a code of ethics and aesthetics, recruiting its members from all classes and all peoples. Sport is a truce, in an era of antagonisms and conflicts, it is the respite of the Gods in which fair competition ends in respect and friendship (Olympism). Sport is educa-tion, the truest form of education, that of character. Sport is culture because it enhances life and, most importantly, does so for those who usually have the least opportunity to feast on it.”

Rene MaheuFormer Director of UNESCO

Our Vision

“Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is merely passing time. Vision with action can change the world...”

Nelson Mandela
