More about YOG

Hey Drama Club

I figured that all of us are either clueless or bored with the YOG theme so... here's a little more information (which i copied from somewhere)


Singapore will be hosting the first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) from 14 to 26 August 2010, receiving some 3600 young athletes between 14 and 18 years of age from 205 National Olympic Committees.
They would be 800* officials, 205 National Olympic Committees, 800* media representatives, 20,000* local and international volunteers, 500,000* spectators (* Estimated numbers). They will compete in 26 sports and take part in Culture and Education Programme (CEP).

The YOG is an event balancing sports, culture and education. The CEP is hence an integral part of the YOG. In line with the YOG’s mission to educate and engage young athletes, inspiring them to play an active role in their communities, the CEP aims for the athletes to embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect.

And... the last bit:
Spirit of Youth – the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games logo (above) – celebrates Singapore 2010 in an adventurous, open and fun way. It evokes the Singaporean sense of confidence and progress. A red flame represents the passion to learn and the power of positive thinking. A purple star symbolises excellence and the pride of representing one’s nation. A crescent reflects dynamic youth, full of promise. The active appearance of the “Singapore 2010” word mark comprises individual and unique characters that signify harmony among the diverse participants. The Spirit of Youth inspires all of us to express the Olympic spirit and celebrate the first-ever Youth Olympic Games.

Hmm... though I do not know how much help this would be, let's work hard to make next year NOMAD rock! :)  -Drama Comm.
