Speaking about the importance of education among young athletes, Bańka said: "We are happy to be a part of the festival.

"It is important to promote inclusion, equality and peace.

"This unique platform brings together athletes and officials to learn, understand and share.

"We know the importance of education of young athletes at WADA."

ITA educator Toby Atkins then held a series of presentations and interactive sessions, sharing the 11 anti-doping rule violations.

The morning session also saw International Olympic Committee Young Leaders Dhukhilan Jeevamani and Elena Mercedes discuss the "DNA of Olympism" and explaining how elements like gender equality, inclusion and safe sport among are all interconnected.

Meanwhile, executive director of Mission 89 Lerina Bright and Daniele Canepa, the former FIFA head of security, spoke about child trafficking and corruption in sport.

The second session started with the German Ju-Jitsu Federation (GJJF) focusing on violence prevention with their "NOT-WITH-ME!" campaign.

Aimed at children aged between five and 12, youngsters who are 13 and above, parents, course instructors, and teachers, GJJF vice-president Michael Korn gave a step-by-step breakdown of the campaign.

According to Korn, first step to preventing violence rests on recognising and avoiding dangers.

Defusing possible confrontations and self-defence were also touched upon.

Korn suggested that using techniques based on the intensity of the attack is crucial in stopping violence.

Lina Khalifeh, founder and chief executive of She Fighter, also spoke about self-defence and empowering women through an entertaining seminar.  

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) also held a seminar with Dr Kim Encel explaining the involvement of the organisation in sports before UNESCO Young Leaders Qinthara Nabigha and Margaux Inocando talked about sustainable goals for good health and well-being.

Finally, the International Paralympic Committee’s MoveNow campaign was shared with kids at the UTS World Youth Festival.

The initiative, in partnership with financial service provider Allianz, is based on an "inclusive training series" with workout videos from Paralympians.

Children were trying simple exercise routines as shown by Tokyo 2020 Paralympic long jump gold medallist Fleur Jong of The Netherlands.

MoveNow is aiming to "encourage young people with disabilities to get involved in sports".
