EAA Celebrate Olympic Day Through "Let's Move for Education" Community Walk
Doha, June 27 (QNA) - Education Above All (EAA) Foundation hosted Let's Move for Education, a community movement activation held in celebration of Olympic Day 2026 and in support of the International Olympic Committee's global Let's Move campaign.
The event brought together hundreds of participants, including youth, families, Team Qatar athletes, community members, partners, representatives of EAA, and invited guests, for an indoor community walk and jog at Place Vendome Mall.
Following a guided warm-up session, participants completed up to five laps around the mall, covering approximately five kilometers, in a shared celebration of physical activity, wellbeing, social connection, and youth engagement.
The activation created an inclusive space for people of different ages and abilities to take part at their own pace, reinforcing the message that every journey begins with a single step.
Through its participation in the IOC's Let's Move campaign, EAA Foundation highlighted the role of sport as more than physical activity. Sport can help young people build confidence, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and communication skills that support their growth inside and outside the classroom.
The event also reflected EAA's Foundation commitment to innovative partnerships that connect education, sport, and social development.
Al Jazi Darwish, Director of Communications and Engagement at the EAA Foundation, said: "Sport has the power to bring people together and inspire young people to recognize their potential.
Through Let's Move for Education, we are proud to support a global movement that promotes active lifestyles, wellbeing, and community connection, while reinforcing our belief that education and sport can work together to empower young people and help them build the skills they need for life."
The event also built on EAA Foundation's collaboration with Qatar Foundation and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) through the Circle In initiative, which harnesses the power of sport to create safe, inclusive spaces that support learning, healing, and personal growth. (QNA)
