    Metamorphosis: The SNFCC to the World 23 – 26 June 2016 Program of events Thursday, June 23rd 2016 18:00 – 21:30 | WESTERN STREET | Sports Activities Folk Games A contemporary and amusing revival of games that still excite children in squares or school yards and which we are all acquainted with or have played when young. Hopscotch, tug of war, hoops and hop sack racing will be, among others the starting point for contemporary versions of the games which, however, will not change those particular features that have made them last through time, becoming an integral part of our folk culture. And it is not only the children who will have fun playing. Grown ups will recall memories from their childhood and might even be tempted to play too, turning this activity into a meeting across generations and an occasion for some essential mentoring of the young. For children ages 5-10. Number of participants per program: 40 children Program duration: 10’. There will be a total of 20 programs. 18:00 – 21:30 | GREAT LAWN | Sports Activities Kids’ Athletics Children are initiated in the world of classical sports and fair play by participating in sports/games adapted to their age group without the pressure of competitiveness and the requirement for performance. Five Olympic track and field events: standing long jump (an Olympic sport until the 5th Olympic Games of Stockholm in 1912), pole vault, discus throw, running and hurdle race, are transformed into group activities through which the young athletes come in contact with the values of fair play, sociability and acceptance of diversity.

Friendship People are at the centre of the Olympic Movement and this value broadly refers to building a peaceful and better world through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism in sport. The Olympic Games inspire humanity to overcome political, economic, gender, racial or religious differences and forge friendships in spite of those differences. The athletes express this value by forming life-long bonds with their team-mates, as well as their opponents. Respect This value represents the ethical principle that should inspire all who participate in the Olympic programmes. It includes respect for oneself and one’s body, respect for one another, for rules and for the environment.
