The Olympics and Paralympics in the classroom
A week of teaching and sports activities inspired by Olympic and Paralympic valuesA week of teaching and sports activities inspired by Olympic and Paralympic values in Italian schools. Winter Games Week is an initiative promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit – Director General for Students, Inclusion and Orientation – together with the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation to raise young people’s awareness about the Olympics and Paralympics on the road to the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.
This country-wide initiative aims to turn students who are still studying in 2026 into key players, allowing them to attend — if not even participate in — the Winter Olympics and Paralympics with greater awareness of the values of sports, culture, respect, civic duty, sustainability and cohesion relating to the events.
Those who register for Winter Games Week will receive teaching material and advice for organising sessions to promote sports and exercise among young people and spread Olympic and Paralympic values among students. The first edition of Winter Games Week was held from 5 to 9 February 2024, involving 231,125 students from 720 communities around Italy.
