The Olympic Games

“The Olympic Games” is aimed at establishing and promoting an intercultural dialogue between European and Asian students focusing on the upcoming Olympic Games. The rationale is to spread the spirit of the Olympic movement, and to highlight such values as friendship, excellence and respect, as well as to foster communication and exchange of views among the students. The project aimed to encourage the students to get engaged in regular physical exercise and to record their work-outs, as well as to experience competitiveness; but always in a manner that demonstrates mutual respect and camaraderie with fellow participants. The project also sought to encourage the students to express their views by responding to forum and survey questions, and by reflecting to some relevant articles. In doing so, they would spread the Olympic ideals: serving peace, understanding and friendship; promoting honest play, abiding by the rules and fairness.
