The 11th edition of the Olympic Values contest came to a successful end today at the Olive School in Namungogo. 27 schools took part with participants engaged in a very educative, insightful and exciting debate competition under the over arching Olympic values themes of respect, friendship and excellence. This is part of our bid as the Olympic committee to promote Olympism amongst the youth. Ms Uganda 2026 Ms Muhoza graced the event as well and provided inspiring guidance on self awareness, empowerment especially of the girl child and the promotion of respect and friendship in society. Congratulations to all the winners of the debate competition let’s promote and embrace the Olympism spirit @Official_UOC @ubctvuganda @NBSportUg @briantukaa @andrewkabuura @AndrewMwenda @wekesa_amos @Marlzaar @MKarekye @KagutaMuseveni @JanetMuseveni @LisaJChesney @UKinUganda @mkainerugaba @mofaug @iocmedia @thecgf @ANOC_Olympic

📌 Our global participation initiative “Let’s Move” returns for Olympic Day. The IOC is inviting the world to get active and play sport this 23 June. This year, Let’s Move carries the simple message: You Can Do This. We are aiming to empower young people to make their first move. Don't worry: that feeling awkward, imperfect or uncertain is normal. You can do this! Olympic Day is celebrated annually to mark the founding of the modern Olympic Games in 1894. It brings people together through sport and physical activity. #LetsMove #OlympicDay
