Discovering the Significance of Sports and the Olympic Games
The students of the 4th and 5th grades of Lití Primary School had the unique opportunity to take part in an educational visit to the Olympic Museum, aiming to explore the significance of sports and the evolution of the Olympic Games from antiquity to the present day. During the visit, they participated in two educational programs. The first program, Ancient Olympic Games; transported them back in time, allowing them to learn about the origins of this prestigious athletic event, the various competitions, the core values, and the importance of the Games in ancient society. Then, through the Paris 2024 – Modern Olympic Games; program, they explored the contemporary form of the Games, their organization in Paris, and the relevance of the Olympic ideal in today's world. This experience helped students gain a deeper understanding of both the history and the timeless value of sports, fostering their interest in athletic participation and the cultivation of the Olympic spirit in their daily lives.
