Introducing OLY PLY CITY CELEBRATIONS

---

VISION

Imagine all 63 host cities of the Olympic, Paralympic, and Youth Games relighting real and proxy flames in a global, unified, synchronized, and highly symbolic gesture of peace and solidarity on the eve of each new Olympiad (kicking off at LA 2028). •  To this add on-the-ground local events and programs developed with local PEACE partners promoting the core ideals and values of the Games  (peaceful engagement through sport) to youth and others. •  Then imagine the entire effort led by inspired local stakeholders working together to keep the Spirit of the Games alive, long after the competitions end and the Games move on. * This the essence of OLY PLY CITIES. 

MISSION

Engage Host City athletes and other inspired stakeholders.  •  Create a brand-new Olympic & Paralympic tradition promoting the PEACE mission of the Games  •  Showcase each Host City’s unique traditions, experiences, and hallowed grounds uniting  all communities as sustained, global platforms of peace.

TACTICS
