Singapore YOG Opening Ceremony Creative Vision:
To mark the occasion of the new Olympic Movement in Singapore. To celebrate the young sporting talents from around the world. To engage, entertain and inspire global unity and national pride. To proclaim anew the enduring values of the original Olympic Games; including Excellence, Friendship, and Respect. To focus on the youth athletes, their hopes as future Olympians and citizens of the world. |

Inspiration:
The parallels between Singapore and a Young Olympian, their struggles, hopes and dreams.
To draw on all that Singapore has to offer in terms of art, culture and expertise; to celebrate our origins and diversity, and to offer a glimpse of our hopes for the future.
Whilst we have wildly different cultural experiences, we are nevertheless united by our humanity and shared aspirations.
Singapore YOG Opening Ceremony Synopsis
The story begins with Singapore's and Young Olympians' hopes and dreams, and follows them through their struggles and transformations, before culminating in the birth of a new beginning.
