 Introduction
The Olympic Movement uses three core values to promote Olympism: excellence, respect and friendship that helps individuals reach their
potential. Values such as determination, courage, perseverance and resilience are intertwined with these core beliefs, and they can be
found in abundance in the lore of the Olympic Games. OVEP is a values-based programme and can be used to:
 develop a student’s understanding of these values and help implement them in their lives;
 encourage students to participate in sport and physical activity;
 strengthen the appreciation of effort in academic subjects; and
 promote positive behavior and build healthy relationships between young people and their communities.
This guide will assist you in delivering the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP). The
guidance manual is organized to help an educator introduce and fully implement OVEP. The resource pack is filled with grade-specific
OVEP workshops and activities for implementation.

 What are the benefits of OVEP?
When OVEP is implemented, it offers considerable holistic and practical benefits, not only for the individual but also
for families and communities. There are multiple benefits of OVEP
• Individual Benefit
• Physical Benefit
• Emotional Benefit
• Social Benefit
• Educational Benefit
Benefits of OVEP

[Link] Benefit: The knowledge and activities of OVEP are particularly effective in developing not only the core values of
Olympism – excellence, respect and friendship – but also life values such as perseverance, courage, assertiveness, honesty, integrity
and personal responsibility.
[Link] Benefit: OVEP is not meant to be a passive programme where participants merely read and reflect on values-based
education. It is a programme that encourages its participants to be physically active and pursue vigorous goals in order to achieve
healthy living.
[Link] Benefit: One of the most frequently cited reasons for young athletes dropping out
of sports programmes is that they stop having fun. OVEP is designed not only to share knowledge and help students develop skills
but also to be so enjoyable that they will continue to participate in sports and benefit from all that it can offer.
[Link] Benefit: Participation in OVEP can build resilience and social skills and can have profound effects on a student’s life and
community. Whether in improved civic literacy (i.e. respecting the norms and traditions of positive social behavior) or in bridging
differences, OVEP has the potential to exert considerable influence in these areas.

HISTORY OF
OLYMPICS
ANCIENT OLYMPICS
The first written evidence of the official Games dates from 776 BC, when
the Greeks began measuring time in Olympiads, or the duration between
each edition of the Olympic Games. The ancient Olympic Games were
held every four years in honour of the god Zeus. ​

From then on, several artistic activities such as music, singing, poetry
and theatre were organised at the Pythian or Delphic Games (a separate
event to the Games held in Olympia), linking culture and sport right from
the beginning of the Games.​

They were not revived until the modern era. ​
