Media alert: Olympic Day Roadshow to kick-off in Overberg

11 May 2016

On Saturday, 14 May 2016, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS), in partnership with the Western Cape Provincial Sport Confederation (WCPSC) and the Overberg Sport Council (OSC), will be hosting an Olympic Day Roadshow in Kleinmond. This is part of the build-up to the Olympic Games taking place in Rio later this year.

The roadshow will consist of sport and education programmes for boys and girls aged 9 – 12 years. This will feature topics ranging from Olympic Education, social themes such as how to stand up against bullying, and fun-filled games and activities for everyone.

The aim of the day will be to teach children about the Olympic Values and what the Olympic Games mean in terms of teamwork and camaraderie. An Olympic Torch will also be lit and will travel across the province as part of the roadshow.

All media are invited to attend.

Date: Saturday, 14 May 2016

Time: 09:00 – 12:00
