Abstract

This article starts with a discussion on the links between Olympism and education as presented in the early years of the modern Olympic Movement and the ideological vision of its founder, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Questions about whether that vision can remain as an ideological platform for the Olympic and Paralympic Games are debated in the light of the emerging challenges of the contemporary era. The key pedagogical approaches of “Olympic education” are reviewed and are examined in order to consider the different ways in which Olympic value legacies can be achieved in varying contexts.
