The Olympic education programme of Turkey

The Turkish Olympic Committee’s (TOC) ‘Active Kids’ initiative for this academic year was launched at schools across Istanbul, and will involve 1200 children. The initiative, now in its third year, has been co-developed by Nike and more than 70 expert organisations who research and promote the many benefits of physical activity for children. ‘Active Kids’ aim is to combat the epidemic of physical inactivity that is growing at an alarming rate and poses a major threat to the health, happiness and prosperity of communities around the globe.

This year, the TOC returns to five primary schools in Istanbul, targeting children between the ages of six and ten. Classes will take place on Saturdays, lasting one and a half hours, and will include a variety of fun and engaging physical activities under the supervision of qualified instructors. This year’s curriculum has been expanded to include additional sessions on the basic techniques for popular sports including athletics, handball, volleyball and basketball.
