About
 This project set out to ask ‘What would your message to the
world be?’ by exploring the seven Olympic Values of friendship,
courage, equality, determination, excellence, respect and inspiration
through a range of art forms.
Participants focused on issues that they felt passionately
about, to express what matters to them most and learn what is important
to their peers abroad. Using the seven Olympic Values, young people were

community, and to create a personal messages about what matters to them,
