 «We have been holding the "Olympic lesson" for the 14th time already. We are very pleased that there is a great interest of children. This project is unique. The NOC launched it in order to enable the child to move, so that they develop not only physically, but also intellectually. We would like to see the children understand the Olympic values, they were brought up on Olympic ideals and were interested in physical culture and sports. We would also like children to know the history of the Olympic movement of Ukraine, since we have a lot of outstanding athletes, many great events occurred in the Olympic movement of Ukraine, which had a great influence on the development of the world Olympic movement», - said Sergey Bubka.

Just after the start of the Olympic Lesson in Kyiv, such events will be held in all regions of Ukraine, in different schools and colleges of the country.
