The Aspire Zone Summer Camp 2022’s recent visit to the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum (QOSM) provided participants the opportunity to learn more about “the world’s most sophisticated museum dedicated to sport”.
In a post on its Facebook page, 3-2-1 noted that the students enjoyed exploring the different galleries, particularly the Activation Zone (Gallery 7) as they engage in a series of fun interactive challenges.
The museum notes that the Activation Zone promotes physical activity and healthy living as it features inspirational stories of residents who decided to adopt such a lifestyle. A digital installation that reflects parks, markets, desert, beaches, and the Khalifa Arena allows visitors to immerse themselves in Qatar’s environment.
“Our galleries reveal the cultural impact of sports through multiple perspectives: the history and contemporary significance of the Olympic Games, the inspiring journeys of global sports heroes, and the development of sports in Qatar.
“Interactive experiences in our Activation Zone promote healthy and active lifestyles. 3-2-1 comprises seven gallery spaces housing objects from around the globe, from the origins of sports to the present day,” 3-2-1 stated.
It is learnt that 3-2-1’s fun games and recreational activities, which form part of its education programmes designed to enhance understanding and awareness of the history of sport, have enticed many students to visit the museum even during the summer season.
The museum’s guided tours for schools both in English and Arabic, which are available during the academic year, allow participants to discover its seven galleries and “can be tailoured to schools’ needs, based on specific subjects or desired learning outcomes”.
According to 3-2-1, its programmes offer educational and sports activities from pre-K to grade 12 for all Qatar-based government and international schools: in line with the standards of the physical education curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.

The museum noted that it also collaborates with local and international universities to develop educational programmes – aimed at raising students’ awareness of Olympic and sports culture.
Besides school programmes, 3-2-1 offers “family-focused activities that encourage participants to learn about different sports through age-appropriate physical, cultural and art events.”
According to 3-2-1, its Library is also the first public library in the region dedicated to sports and houses more than 5,000 books and scientific research journals specialising in sports and Olympic history, sports law, health and nutrition, physical fitness and other sports-related subjects. These also include modern training and teaching methods for physical education in both Arabic and English. It is open from Sunday to Thursday between 9am and 7pm, and from 1.30pm to 7pm on Fridays.
In addition to 3-2-1’s extensive catalogue, the museum also provides spaces for student activities. It plans to invite writers, authors and specialists from inside and outside Qatar for a number of educational activities such as symposia, lectures and forums, as well as study days on modern sports.
