Empowering Unity – The Story of the 2025 Pacific Mini Games. What does Empowering Unity truly mean?

Our young reporters spent the final days of the Games asking that question, capturing heartfelt reflections from athletes, and leaders across the Pacific.

Set against the powerful energy of the Closing Ceremony, this film is a celebration of togetherness, resilience, and the moments that brought us all closer.

We’re incredibly proud and grateful to have been part of this unforgettable journey and to help tell the stories that made these Games so special.

Voices of the Athletes at the Pacific Mini Games

A powerful look at how the Voices of the Athletes programme, delivered by the ONOC Athletes' Commission is bringing the Olympic spirit to life in the Pacific.

Our young reporters got a taste of the fun education that is being provided by the Voices of the Athlete's team at the dining room in the athlete's village. Why are athlete's voice's important?

It’s the First-Ever International Volleyball Day! 🏐 And where better to launch it than right here in Palau?

Our young reporters were on the sand to capture the moment as the FIVB President, Fabio Azevado, officially launched World Volleyball Day from the Pacific Mini Games.

In today’s video, we shine a spotlight on Beach Volleyball - what makes a great player, what spectators should watch for, and why this sport brings so much energy and joy to the Games.

Join us in celebrating the athletes, the sport, and the spirit of Volleyball! 🌊☀️

🏹 Archery at the Pacific Mini Games – Precision, Passion, and Powerful Values.

This short film takes you inside the archery range, where calm meets concentration, and where every shot tells a story. But what really stood out? The values behind the sport.

“You can be the worst shooter but a good person and you’ll still be considered the best archer.”

WOW - A powerful reminder that skill matters, but character matters more.

🌺 What’s So Special About Palau?
We know Palau is beautiful, but we wanted to hear why it’s so special from the people who know it best.

Our young reporters took to the streets to ask locals what they love most about their home and culture, and to hear what visiting athletes and guests are discovering, too.

Proud voices and heartfelt answers.
