Sports stars' physical education class' is a project that focuses on supporting healthy growth and increasing the interest in sports activities of children and adolescents who are vulnerable to participation in sports by utilizing the talents of sportspeople. In particular, former and current national athletes, including Olympic and Asian Games medalists, will participate as instructors to provide training and mentoring, and support sports products that participants hope for.
The project will be divided into a visiting physical education class that provides visiting classes to a total of 58 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools in the island mountain area, and a sports camp that is conducted for vulnerable children and adolescents to participate in sports. This year, it is notable that the target has been expanded, including North Korean defectors.
From the 9th, the first 'Sports Camp' was held at the Olympic Parktel and Olympic Park in Seoul with about 100 North Korean defectors. Medallists and national team players such as Kang Wan-jin (TWONTO), Kim Won-ho (Badminton), and Choi Kyung-jin (Futsal) participated in the camp as daily instructors, which received great response from the participants.
In addition, a program to feel the true value of sports and build a healthy personality of adolescents, including a special lecture on sports spirit by Ha Hyung-joo, chairman of the Sports Promotion Foundation, a 1984 LA Olympic gold medalist, and Korean Olympic value education, was also held.
Chairman Ha said "Sports is an important medium for growing yourself and connecting people with each other beyond just exercise.", and "We will continue to provide support to expand opportunities for sports activities for children and adolescents who have limited participation in sports in the future."
Meanwhile, 'Visiting Physical Education Classroom' will continue until November, and 'Sports Camp' will be held two more times in the second half of this year.
