To celebrate the end of the Olympics we are moving onto the African continent! Taith has had several projects based in Africa, but we want to showcase this wonderful partnership ‘Glan-y-Moyeni’ between Ysgol Glan-y-Môr in Burry Port, Wales, and Moyeni High School in Quthing, Lesotho.

But before we look at this project, did you know, there are three values of Olympism? These are excellence, respect and friendship. They constitute the foundation on which the Olympic Movement builds its activities to promote sport, culture and education with a view to building a better world.

There are so many parallels between the Olympics and Taith and this ‘Glan-y-Moyeni’ really shows how Taith funded projects builds respect and develops friendships whilst also promoting and enhancing education with a view to building a better world.

To find out more about what these children learnt and experienced together https://www.taith.wales/story/glan-y-moyeni-bringing-young-people-from-lesotho-and-wales-together/
