Abstract

The aim of this work is to make known the Olympic Education Program (PEO) that has been implemented in Portugal, since 2015, by the Olympic Committee of Portugal (COP). Based on an analysis of the experiences and implementation of similar programs in other countries, in particular the Olympic Values Educational Programme (OVEP), developed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), an Olympic Education Program was created following international orientations and good practices experiences. In addition to these contributions, it was considered to implement and develop new content aiming at facilitating daily activities carried on by teachers and educators in Portuguese teaching institutions; themes such as the Portuguese participation in the summer and winter Olympic Games, Olympic Medallists or Portuguese Olympic Champions, were addressed. In order to respond to new challenges faced by schools due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the activities implemented in 2020 are also discussed, they aimed to make the Olympic Education Program more flexible and dynamic, by making available, online, new sets of contents and activity proposals.
