The Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP), developed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), is a global initiative that promotes the Olympic values of Excellence, Respect, and Friendship in young people through education and sport. In India, the Reliance Foundation partners with the IOC to implement OVEP in schools and communities nationwide. This collaboration aims to make the Olympic movement more inclusive and impactful, using sport to foster holistic development, character building, and social change, empowering the next generation to embrace Olympism in all aspects of life.
OVEP provides resources to introduce young people to the Olympic values of excellence, respect, and friendship, helping them become active, healthy, and responsible citizens.
The RF-OVEP School Program instills Olympic values in students through engaging formats tailored for different age groups. For Grades 1-10, the program includes interactive workshops, teacher training, student-led activities, and storytelling sessions. For kindergarten and preschool, the program uses playful formats, focusing on storytelling, creative activities, and guided play to introduce Olympic values, nurturing empathy, teamwork, and respect from an early age.
OVEP conducts various online and on-ground events across the country, including:
Teacher training under OVEP is conducted in-person and virtually, equipping educators with the knowledge and tools to integrate Olympic values into their teaching. In-person training fosters interactive learning and collaboration, while virtual sessions offer flexibility and wider reach. Both formats focus on experiential learning and value-based discussions.
The Let's Move India campaign, driven by Reliance Foundation with the IOC, promotes physical activity and well-being nationwide. As part of Olympic Day, it encourages people of all ages to embrace movement through school activities, community events, and digital engagement, reinforcing that movement is vital for health and a unifying force for a better society.
