What are the Olympic and Paralympic promotional events?

The school year is marked by at least four significant events:

• The Olympic and Paralympic Week, which will take place from 2 to 6 April, 2024

• Olympic Day on 23 June

• National School Sports Day (JNSS) and University Sports Day in September

• Paralympic Day in October

Beyond these three national highlights, the organisation of academic events related to sports is regularly encouraged.

Similarly, hosting major international sports events (GESI) on the territory is a real opportunity for students to attend as spectators or participate as volunteers in these competitions.

Alongside these major events, the Cultural Olympiad extends the experience offered to young people by exploring the connection between art and sport. Since April 2023, schools and institutions can submit artistic and cultural education projects that will be awarded the Cultural Olympiad label.
