As the eyes of the world turn to Paris and the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games, the Refugee Olympic Team is sending a powerful message of hope to the hundreds of millions of people who will watch the Games over the next two weeks. ‘Make A Heart With Your Hands’ has become the way for fans of the team to show their support and cheer on the refugee athletes. It has been taken up by the athletes at the Olympics, encouraging everyone to open their hearts to refugees around the world. Olympian Yusra Mardini, an original member of the IOC Refugee Olympic Team, and Michelle Yeoh, Oscar-winning Hollywood actor and IOC Member, appeared during the Opening Ceremony pre-show to rally the crowd and welcome the team, using the heart with hands symbol as they travelled along the six kilometre route of the ceremony.
