The campaign launch was preceded by a social study on youth well-being and the positive impact the Olympic Movement can have, conducted by the international company GFK at the request of the NOC of Ukraine and supported by the Coca-Cola Company.

Following the results of this study, the NOC prepared seven short films about Olympic values together with the largest Ukrainian studio FILM.UA.

The actors are all famous Ukrainian athletes, Olympic champions and prize-winners, and medallists of the World and European championships, namely Olga Kharlan, Yuriiy Cheban, Oleg Vemiaiev, Zhan Beleniuk, Olga Saladukha, Illia K vasha, and Georgiy Zantaraia.

The films have already been shown to the public by leading Ukrainian TV channels.

All educational institutions in the country will be involved in the project through open discussions and master classes with the participation of well-known Olympians.
