“Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balance whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.” -The International Olympic Committee
At PRIMUN we believe mindfulness of the future and the principle of might are key for our delegates to keep in mind as they debate. The students of this conference are the leaders of the future. It's a privilege to be able to hold our conference at the same time as the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Many core values overlap between the event and create a cohesive learning process. Please, do not miss this rare, fun, and unique opportunity.
