Panel Discussion: In a few weeks the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris will be held. Doping, commercialization, and corruption are often connected to the Olympic Games and Movement. However, Olympism is more than a mega sports event. This panel discussion will relate to the above-mentioned definition on Olympism regarding Olympic values and Olympic education.

 

We look forward to your participation in this event, tailored for everyone interested in Olympic topics, sport education, and teaching excellence.
