Olympism
in Action Forum

By bringing together thousands of athletes and inspiring billions of viewers, the Olympic Games and the spirit of Olympism unite people around the world and promote peace in our society. To further the momentum of using sport for good, the IOC organised the Olympism in Action Forum in Buenos Aires in October 2018.

Using the unique power of sport to bring people together, the Olympism in Action Forum saw a range of global players, including Olympic Movement stakeholders, athletes, private and public sector leaders, NGO representatives, academics, artists and the media come together to talk on topical contemporary issues. Chosen because of their ability to effect change and their wide range of sometimes differing opinions, the speakers led lively debates and seeked to challenge received wisdom to inspire new ways of thinking.

The Forum featured a wide variety of sessions, including debates, collaborative workshops, sports demos, inspiring talks, cultural celebrations and more.

Minimal waste, sustainable materials, local providers, carbon neutrality and much more: the Olympism In Action Forum was delivered in a way that minimised its environmental footprint and raised participants’ awareness about sustainability.
