Grange Attending Olympism Summit in Switzerland

Minister of Sport, Olivia Grange is currently attending the Olympism 365 Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland, .

The 3-day event which is set to end on Thursday, has brought together more than 250 representatives from over 100 organisations within the Olympic Movement, United Nations agencies, civil society, financial institutions, for-purpose businesses, the safe sport community, and IOC Young Leaders.

Grange was specially invited to the Summit by newly minted IOC President Elect, Kirsty Coventry, in recognition of her distinguished service as one of the longest-serving Ministers of Sport globally.

She will take centre stage at the main plenary session on Wednesday where she will speak alongside Antonella Baldino, CEO of Italy’s public bank focused on sports and cultural development.

The Olympism 365 Summit focuses on leveraging sport to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Grange’s participation underscores Jamaica’s leadership in using sport as a driver of positive social transformation.
