The campaign includes an interactive webpage that provides users with information and knowledge on the benefits of sport and encourages them to learn about the ideals and values of the Olympic Movement.

The launch of the online tool marked Slovakia's hosting of the seminar in Tatranská Lomnica in the High Tatras Mountains attended by representatives of National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine.

The aim of the seminar was to introduce and discuss various Olympic education and promotion activities that each NOC is undertaking in their respective country as part of the long-term ongoing cooperation of their NOAs.

The main discussion areas were Olympic education publications, Olympic knowledge competitions, and Olympic and Sports Museums.

Representatives discussed and introduced their activities in these fields and compared their success and range.

Following discussions the NOCs agreed to create an international online knowledge competition for participants from all countries present at the seminar, with the work plan to be developed in the upcoming months and a database of questions in English, as well as each respective language, to be established.

The NOCs are also going to seek help to set up permanent exhibitions at Olympic and Sport Museums from the International Olympic Committee and the European Olympic Committees.

Following the conclusion of the seminar, delegates visited the Ski Museum in Tatranská Lomnica.
