Olympism Ancient Olympism

Olympism has its roots in the beliefs of the ancient Greeks, who encouraged people to develop their physical, moral, intellectual, cultural and artistic qualities harmoniously. This meant taking part in a blend of sport, art, educational and cultural activities. This philosophy was celebrated through the Olympic Games, a festival involving athletes, scholars and artists from many cultural fields.

Modern Olympism Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin who in 1894 established the Olympic Movement, is

recognized as the father of modern Olympism. He modernized ancient Greek ideals and launched them to the rest of the world through the staging of a modern Olympic Games. Today, the festival celebrates the ideals which remain at the heart of Olympism. By blending sport with culture and education, Olympism promotes a way of life based on:

The balanced development of the body, will and mind The joy found in effort The educational value of being a good role model Respect for universal ethics including tolerance, generosity, unity, friendship, non-

discrimination and respect for others. Goal of Olympism

Olympism uses sport to promote the balanced development of people as an essential step in building a peaceful society that places a high value on human dignity.
