Doha, October 24 (QNA) - The Qatar Olympic Academy (QOA) concluded Tuesday the periodical Olympic Values Education Workshop, organized in cooperation with the International Olympic Academy and Olympic Solidarity at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and held at the QOA headquarters, other event venues, and schools.

The workshop was presented by Dr. Ali Al Bakri, Director of Sports Management Programs and National Representative of the State of Qatar in the Association of Participants in the International Olympic Academy, where more than eighty students from various disciplines and functional fields participated in this workshop.

The workshop dealt with several topics and axes, the most important of which was the emergence of the ancient Olympic Games and the Olympic values related to the Olympic Games, which IOC founding member and former President Pierre de Coubertin stressed, as he aimed not only to excel in performance but to advance ideas, educational values, and human ethics while emphasizing the importance of equality and respect for others. These values span almost 3,000 years of Olympic history. (QNA)
