In these games in addition to the sport competitions program, YOG features an extensive Culture and Education Program (CEP), which aims to introduce young athletes to Olympism and Olympic values in a fun and festive spirit and to raise the awareness of important issues such as the benefit of a healthy life, the fight against doping, global challenges and their role as sport ambassadors in their communities.
