Every year, the National Olympic Academy of Benin organizes a series of events for the promotion of the Olympic values, especially among young people. The competition "Sport and Intelligence" and the Olympic Caravan are part of these actions, as well as the Youth Sports Camp. The aim of the actions is to strengthen the culture and awareness of young people in the fields of sport and the educational values of sports.All these activities are addressed to boys and girls under the age of 17 with their school teachers. They are familiarised with the sports practiced in Benin, the regulations, the key athletes, history at national and international level.Schoolchildren participate in at least one sport and are also included in groups to take part in the "Sport and Intelligence" competition. This competition consists of groups of five people, with at least two people of the same sex. Questions of general knowledge about sport and its educational values are asked. The best teams are admitted to the national final competition.Among these groups, children are selected for the Sports Camps, which last seven days and are aimed to familiarise children with all kinds of sports. They also improve their knowledge of issues such as the benefits of sport in health and personality development, the fight against doping, the problem of violence in sport and the manipulation of sporting results.
