Olympic Values
Olympism is a philosophy of life
Olympism is a philosophy of life that celebrates and combines 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 and respect for fundamental ethical principles.
At the heart of Olympism are three universal values — excellence, respect and friendship. They form the foundation of the Olympic Values programme of the Olympic Committee of Serbia, based on the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP), the official programme of the International Olympic Committee.
Through sport, play, experiential learning and interactive activities, the programme fosters the development of life skills, responsibility, cooperation, fair play and healthy habits, helping children and young people understand, embrace and apply Olympic values in everyday life.
