To achieve the above goals, we create specially targeted educational programs in a museum environment (Museo – educational), through which children and young people will be educated about the benefits of Olympic Education for shaping the ideal citizen, based on documented Sports-Olympic History and Research.<\/p>\n
To achieve this purpose, the Olympism – Culture Centre and the Association of Fine Arts “Kostis Palamas,” in collaboration with the Kostis Palamas Letters Foundation, will present a dynamic education program where the exhibits and the museum’s historical information about Olympism and Olympic Education will activate and sensitise every visitor from the local, national, and international communities.
\nIn the historical environment of the Kostis Palamas Letters Foundation, in a particularly symbolic space where the lyricist of the Olympic anthem was born, educational programs of Olympic Education will be implemented, promoting the healthy characteristics of sports by highlighting and reviving the Ancient Olympic ideals, principles, and values cultivated through the teachings of our National poet Kostis Palamas. <\/p>\n
The continuous educational and training activities and events with informative, educational, entertaining, and pedagogical programs about Olympism and Olympic Education, learning Ancient and modern Greek History, will be accompanied by special video presentations, whose main characteristic will be learning primarily for our youth but also for the city’s residents in Patras and the broader region.<\/p>\n
These museum-visual educational programs will be tailored to age and school level and will be based on their previous knowledge of sports, with the main goal of developing interest and demonstrating their real desire and willingness to participate in a journey of exploration and gaining new knowledge and experiences. <\/p>\n
These new experiences will come from each athletic theme, such as running, football, swimming, volleyball, basketball, Olympic sports etc. This way, children will see each sporting its active form and essence and they will get to know about the Olympic Games, not only from their historic point of view, but also for their social, economic, physical and recreational characteristics. <\/p>\n
This knowledge will be acquired in competitive movement conditions for each activity, and mobile experience teams with corresponding skills will be defined. This knowledge, combined with mobility experience, will enable them to identify to a large extent the characteristics of the athlete and evaluate the sport. <\/p>\n
For all of the above, “learning” and “recreation” will be the primary tools for achieving the goal and will dominate in every educational program.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Practical Application of Olympic Education Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>The implementation of the above actions and events will be based on modern museum education programs with digital media, interactive images, and videos that will showcase the history of the Olympics, the composition of the Olympic anthem, and the psychophysical benefits derived from children’s participation in them. These programs will be adjusted according to the requirements of all levels of education. <\/p>\n
Through these activities, children will come into contact with the Ancient Olympic Games, learn about the Olympians who played a significant role in the idea of the Olympics, discover the value of the Paralympic Games, and become sensitive to disability issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
