Conduct of the 2nd Greek-French Olympic and Paralympic Week

The ERASMUS + program supports the mobility of Greek and French teachers and students through the creation of bridges of communication between 26 school classrooms of the two countries, in view of the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024.

The second edition of the Olympic and Paralympic Week brings together young people from Greece and Normandy to share a common passion: Sport and its values ​​through discussions with champions. Meetings with top Greek and French athletes will be a source of inspiration and encouragement for everyone.

Students will have the opportunity to get to know different personalities up close, to share the history and values ​​of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, to become aware of disability issues. French, the official language of the Olympic Games, will be at the heart of the educational programs offered to French language teachers in Greece.
