The Summer Olympics, a symbol of human peace and unity, will officially begin in a few days, on July 26. New sports such as skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing and break dancing are being added to the Olympics this year. Also, 33 athletes from Mongolia have received the right to participate in nine sports of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics and six sports of the Paralympics.

The Olympics is not only a sports festival, but it has the magic of uniting the countries of the world under one roof and strengthening unity. Therefore, in addition to the main competition, activities such as a cultural festival, fan zone and community participation programs will be organized. For example, House projects will be implemented and about 15 countries and organizations will introduce their culture, traditions, and history to international citizens through their campuses. And Mongolia will be one of them.
