If you’re aged 18 to 25, eager to help make a change to other people’s lives and believe in the importance of the Olympic values, we invite you to take part in our Imagine Peace Youth Camp and become a member of a community of emerging leaders from around the globe!
In partnership with the International Olympic Truce Centre (IOTC) and in collaboration with Save the Dream, we are organising the third Imagine Peace Youth Camp.
Fifty participants from more than fifteen countries from around the world with different cultural and political backgrounds will come together for one week from 27 August to 2 September 2017 in Ancient Olympia to take part in a series of educational workshops and sports activities that aim to promote equality and peace, and explore the role of sport in the peaceful resolution of conflict.
Participants will be divided into groups of up to seventeen people, which will be balanced in terms of gender and reflect the diversity of participants’ communities. A team of experienced facilitators, volunteers and Olympic champions will facilitate the programme.
