When Coubertin decided to revive the Olympics 120 years ago, he intended
to change the world through Olympic Games and Olympic culture.
Nowadays,
the strength and influence of the Olympic Movement are constantly increasing.
The Olympic movement is not only about sports competition, but also about
cultural and environmental protection. Therefore, sports, culture and
environmental protection become the three pillars of the Olympic activities. Further,
cultural sharing, sports education and environmental protection should be applied
to promote people's physical and mental harmony. Apart from focusing on the
gold medals in the Olympic Games, we should also pay attention to the
transmission of Olympic values and spirit, to display Olympic culture.
The mission of this commission is to bring the Olympic culture to the mind of people all over the world ,and to pass it down from generation to generation, through forum, conferences, Olympic cultural and artistic activities, sports and literary competitions, sports and painting, and the International Olympic Academy, in cooperation with UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
In
addition to the members of the IOC and the leaders of sports organizations, the
members of the commission also include the leaders of current internationally
renowned cultural and artistic organizations.
