Since the launch of Beyond Sport_Kenya, it has brought a big change to the community, it has changed the perception of many community members towards girls participating in sports and it has increased the number of girls and women participation in sports,  since it works towards advocating for and promoting gender equality in and through sports. Beyond Sport_Kenya's next step is to continue nurturing talents and creating safe space for youths to  exchange ideas and learn.

Building on the success of the initial five indoor tables, Kee-PING Hope  | أمل  has recently introduced innovative new designs to further its mission. We have created two multipurpose colorful indoor table tennis tables tailored for children’s spaces, engaging areas for both play and learning. Additionally, we proudly designed and built the first three outdoor concrete table tennis tables in Lebanon in diverse outdoor parks. During one of the most difficult periods in Lebanon, We found strength in continuing Kee-PING Hope | أمل to bring joy and resilience to children through table tennis. It became an escape for them, a way to find happiness among the challenges. As for our 2025 goal, we aim to focus on children who were affected by the war and lost their home. We will build tables in selected public schools were children are sheltering and conduct table tennis training sessions. We won't stop creating a space where children can dream, grow, and feel empowered! Wish us luck!

The future is uncertain for now… To Be Sport delivered a successful proof of concept in 2024 taking a group of young people from underserved communities and forming them to become sports event volunteers at a global event. The next step would be to scale up the project however I currently have limited capacity to manage a project with a full time consuming job and a 6 month old. Have decided to hit pause and prioritise my personal and professional life for the time being. I am hopeful To Be Sport will come back to life in the near future.

Mudando o Placar (MOP) recently completed its third year of operations and formalized itself as a registered organization. Throughout that time, this sports initiative facilitated free and regular basketball practices for over one hundred underprivileged children in Brazil's largest favela. More than inspiring youngsters to create a healthy lifestyle, MOP is the bridge to opportunities, friends, and lifelong learning. Some of the impact has been boys and girls moving on to play in high-level basketball clubs, children who initiated English lessons, a beneficiary who received an athletic scholarship to a private school, youth who are volunteering and gaining employability skills, and others who feel they belong to something bigger themselves. As to what is next, the objective is to strengthen partnerships with people, sponsors, and government to make the project sustainable and to last for years to come.

I will deeply miss the human connections, the exchange of visions and ideas, and the unpredictable journey of designing and developing together. I will also miss hearing your life stories and celebrating your successes. However, I am confident that we will continue to inspire and support one another, as well as the next generation of IOC Young Leaders. My door will always be open to all of you 🤗

Since it's launch in 2022, we've been engaging at different events and conferences with over 200 athletes, sport organisations and corporate companies. In 2024, we co-delivered the Pride House engagement activities with the local organisation Fier Play, who hosted the space during the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024. During the Games, we engaged with LGBTIQ+ athletes competing at Paris 2024 as Pride House ambassadors and role models, through interviews and round tables. We also engaged with the local community in Paris to create a lasting legacy that continues until today. 

We look forward to many more opportunities in the coming years.

Nicolò Di Tullio will likely miss the unique opportunities and connections forged through the IOC Young Leaders Programme. The chance to collaborate with fellow passionate young leaders from diverse backgrounds, the invaluable mentorship and support from the IOC programme managers, and the ability to make a tangible impact on the world of sport and sustainability will be cherished memories.

The GotTo project, a brainchild of Nicolò Di Tullio and supported by the IOC Young Leaders Programme, has left a significant mark on the intersection of sports, science, and environmental sustainability. By fostering collaboration between researchers and athletes, the project has successfully contributed to fill the gap between academic inquiry and real-world application. Through citizen science initiatives, GotTo has empowered athletes to become active participants in environmental monitoring and data collection, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of climate change and its impact on sports. The project's legacy extends beyond data collection, as it has cultivated a global community of environmentally conscious sportspeople who are passionate about sustainability. As GotTo evolves, its future endeavors will likely focus on expanding its reach, refining data analysis techniques thanks to collaboration with research centers and sport organizations, and developing innovative solutions to address pressing environmental challenges. By continuing to inspire and engage athletes worldwide, GotTo aims to leave a lasting impact on the sports industry and the planet. GotTo is currently partnering with 10+ citizen science projects and involving 30k+ sportpeople-scientists worldwide through online data collection challenges and campaigns.

We already did 4 camps and planning more for next week, we are also planning regular beachvolleyball trainings for underprivileged children. The next big step is to make the project sustainable by launching teambuildings for companies.

The deep level of connection within the 2021-2024 cohort will be greatly missed. However I believe we can still continue creating our impact and share the inspiration with the IOCYL community, and that's something to look forward to.  I am super grateful for the journey we have shared together, and eager to give back to the community even if I become an old leader ;) Thank you everyone!

The Dream League continues to grow as the representative community of women's ice hockey in Korea. The games will be open to both local and international teams from 2025, expected to include around 300 players in 20 teams throughout the league. The development programs such as Dream Big Academy are also planned to be executed to further support the players and coaches to enhance their skills and connect with growing number of role models in the international communities such as the PWHL. Our end goal is to secure and stabilise the equal opportunities for girls and women in Korean ice hockey.

YES has enabled us to identify social issues and has generated commitment from the community, particularly from young people, who have included sustainable development in their activities. The next step will be to diversify sports activities and create partnerships with schools to engage more young people. Raising awareness on environmental issues and gender equality, as well as contributing to the education of young people through Olympic values.

What I’ll miss most is the incredible journey of turning an idea into reality and witnessing the impact it has on young people’s lives. Being an IOC Young Leader has been a pivotal moment in my life it’s shaped my projects, my vision, and my approach to making a difference. I’m immensely proud to be part of this program and grateful for the opportunities it has brought. As for last words... “This is just the beginning!” The legacy is in motion, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve and inspire. 🚀🏀

The legacy of my project lies in its potential to scale and sustain impact. Next, we plan to expand 3x3 basketball academies to new locations in Africa, such as Mohammedia and Sidi Moumen, and launch the Eco Basket Tour, combining sports and environmental awareness. Through programs like Whistle for Change, we aim to train 100 referees annually, ensuring 50% are women, and engage 10,000 youth by 2030. Partnerships with organizations will help sustain and replicate the model, empowering local leaders to carry the vision forward.

I will miss the IOC YL community but I believe that with many we created such strong relationships and bonds that we will stay in touch even after the program official end. I am truly grateful for being part of the program, at the beginning my project faced many challenges and I did not think any of our goals are realistic. I can't believe how far we've got and how much impact we had. It's truly fulfilling and I am excited about the future the project. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.LlVz4Q2M
We will continue to raise awareness of REDs and related issues. We will start the next year strong by hosting a conference for 200 people. We are working on establishing another partnership with a federation and we hope to deliver many more lectures and workshops.

The project now actively trains underprivileged kids and gives them access to sport. All their training and equipment costs are covered by us. The next goal is to conduct more camps throughout the year and keep on adding more and more kids to our lovely family!

Being able to give back is my dream come true. Sport has given me so much in life and I've always wondered how can I give back or pay it forward through sport. Through the support of IOC Young Leaders programme, Panasonic and passionate+ like-minded comrades, iLEAP materialized. As a young leader, I learned so much during my time and these experiences REALLY developed and helped me in my career too. I hope for many other projects to continue to succeed and create many more amazing impact in the society 🫶🏻

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.LlVz4Q2M
iLEAP was adopted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports as one of their activities in end of 2023 because our minister Hannah Yeoh sees value in inclusivity in youth sports leaders. My goal is to keep it going (10 more years) so that my sons - Bobby and Teddy will get the chance to join this amazing programme ✌🏼❤️
