Open lessons dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Children of Asia Games were held in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). 21 districts of the republic, and more than 7,000 students from 96 schools participated in this large scale event. Thematic lessons were organized by the Children of Asia International Committee together with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
The event was dedicated to the Decree “On conducting Children of Asia Games” by the first President of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) Mikhail Nikolaev on September 19, 1995.
During two days, on September 18 and 19, schools hosted thematic class hours and practical classes in physical education. The central element of the lessons was a special motivational cartoon provided by the Children of Asia International Committee. Through this cartoon, children learned about the Olympic values, the history of the Children of Asia Games, and their role in promoting international sports cooperation and friendship among children from different countries.
In some schools, Alumni of the Games joined the lessons, serving as a vivid example of intergenerational continuity. For instance, in Sangar School of Kobyai District, Ignat Berezkin, an alumnus of the 1st Children of Asia Games and Head of the district's sports department hold the lesson. In Berdigestyakh of Gorny District, Boris Sidorov, an alumnus of the 5th Children of Asia Games in boxing and a bronze medalist of the 2019 Russian Cup, took part in an open lesson. They shared their memories and answered questions.
The Children of Asia International Committee strives to ensure that more and more children are aware of the history and values of our movement. Such open lessons are an important step in promoting and developing sports and a healthy lifestyle among children and young people.
The educational event is part of a series of activities planned for next year in honor of the 30th year of the Children of Asia Games.
