(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum is organising a conference about Olympic and Peace Education called Body2Mind on Thursday and Friday at the Museum of Islamic Art auditorium
"Olympic education embodies a sports ethic by which it fulfils an integral educational objective. Here, two basic premises play a substantial role: The idea of peace and the ideology of Olympism, which encompasses the relationship between sport, culture and education," says Dr Christian Wacker, Director of 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum
The conference sets the stage to present Olympic education programmes, discuss the philosophy behind them and create a platform for participants to network and learn from each other's experiences. The conference will also be an opportunity for the guests to know more about the local institutions that are actively working to promote Olympic education in Qatar and across the Mena region, such as the Qatar Olympic Academy, the Qatar Olympic Committee, the Supreme Education Council and the Aspire Academy.
Affiliated international organisations are the United Nations Office on Sports for Development & Peace, the International Olympic Academy, the International Olympic Truce Centre and the International School Sports Federation
"This conference is a first not only in Qatar, but the region as a whole, and I believe that creating such a platform for Olympic education while including all the stakeholders involved, will build a better understanding of the idea of peace and the ideology of Olympism," explains Hamda Al Mohannadi, Manager of Education, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. Admission is free of charge.
