The Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) organized a clinic on Tuesday to educate selected school children about the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) at the University of Ghana Stadium. The event aimed to promote Olympic values and raise awareness about Ghana's participation in the 2026 Youth Olympic Games, scheduled to take place in Dakar from October 31 to November 13.
The clinic, themed "Africa's First, Ghana's Moment!", attracted over 400 students from four schools in Ayawaso West Municipality. The students, teachers, and dignitaries participated in a 12-kilometer walk around the athletic oval, during which they passed the Olympic torch symbolically, emphasizing the three values of the Olympic Movement: respect, excellence, and friendship.
Mr Kofi Adams, the special guest of honor, stressed the importance of the OVEP in nurturing Ghana's future sports talents and urged parents to create an environment where children can discover and develop their potential. He also pledged to support Team Ghana's preparation for the Games and encouraged the athletes to bring back medals.
Chef de Mission for Team Ghana, Mr Evans Yeboah, urged the students to embrace sports and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Ghana will compete in eight events at the Youth Olympic Games, including athletics, table tennis, boxing, taekwondo, judo, beach volleyball, badminton, and swimming.
