DOHA: The first educational workshop on sport integrity under the Schools Olympic Programme (SOP), an initiative of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) and the Supreme Education Council, was held recently for 4,000 students of the Birla Public School.
This year’s edition of the SOP is dedicated to sport integrity and realised through the partnership of Qatar School Sport Association, Qatar Paralympic Committee, Ministry of Interior, Qatar Anti-Doping Commission, Anti-Doping Laboratory Qatar and the International Centre for Sport Security alongside Maersk Oil Qatar, which was named the official sponsor of the programme for the next three years.
Students were shown videos portraying sport values and true sportsmanship, with the aim of inspiring them to become champions in sport and life.
Mohammad Issa Al Fadala, Executive Director of the SOP, was optimistic the event would inspire students from other schools to participate in the programme. Our students are the main part of SOP and we are happy that today’s event got their full attention.”
