Lillehammer Young Leaders Programme is our main project for young leaders in sports. Together with the Norwegian participants, we welcome international young leaders from all over the world to take part in the Programme together with us. We strive to facilitate an arena both for academic and social learning and networking amongst the yearly participants. Across borders, young leaders from different sports, backgrounds, and roles exchange thoughts, experiences, impulses, and inspiration! And all of this at the same time as the participants get to see the Olympic legacy in Lillehammer – visiting sporting events, arenas and facilities, the Norwegian Olympic Museum, and other memorable places. For some participants, it is their very first meeting with the cold Norwegian winter season – and snow!
So far, more than 100 participants from 29 different nations have been part of the Lillehammer Young Leaders Programme 2020-2023.
2023
36 participants, both Norwegian and international young leaders, gathered in Lillehammer in February – for this year’s greatest winter adventure! The overarching theme for the programme was “Fair Play” – a theme that is spacious in its diverse angles.
The participants were up for various challenges, both academically and through networking activities. They got to see the Olympic arenas, such as “Lysgårdsbakkene”, “Håkons Hall and Kristins hall” and the Norwegian Olympic Museum, in addition to a guided tour in the streets of Lillehammer city. Amongst other lecturers, the United Nations Association of Norway and the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports brought interesting perspectives on the role of Fair Play in both sports and society.
LYLP 2022/23 was a unique experience for all the involved parts! We are truly looking forward to the next edition!

Training Camps
In order to share Norwegian winter sports expertise and to support young athletes from around the world, we organize international training camps targeted to young athletes and their coaches. All training camps are organised in close corporation with the respective National Federation. In addition to the physical training, we also focus on seminars and social activities for both the athletes and the coaches. As a part of the legacy from the Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer 2016, we want the participants to “Meet, learn and share”. We also aim to involve young people from Norway in the camp as “young leaders” to give them valuable experiences in a young international environment.

Activity programIn the open-air museum at Maihaugen, there will be activities designed for the whole family to participate in. Both individual and team activities! In addition, there will be challenges with premiers at the stand.Inside the museum, we are hosting an Olympic quiz. By exploring the museum with all its historical material you will find the answers to the questions – and get to experience the magic inside the walls of the museum. Søk om idrettslagets parapris her
Young leadership
As you may know, the Youth Olympic Games 2016 in Lillehammer was an important measure in order to increase involvement of young people in sport here in Norway, and the event gave young leaders fantastic possibilities to grow and develop as leaders. Two hundred young leaders were trained before the games, not only to offer support as leading volunteers during the YOG, but also to encourage them to pursue careers in sport in the future. We as a legacy-center really believe in young engagement, and we believe that we through our activities also can offer young leader opportunities to learn more about leadership and get more valuable experience.
