Mission of the International Olympic Academy
The
aim of the International Olympic Academy is to create an international
cultural centre in Olympia, to preserve and spread the Olympic Spirit,
study and implement the educational and social principles of Olympism
and consolidate the scientific basis of the Olympic Ideal, in conformity
with the principles laid down by the ancient greeks and the revivers of
the contemporary Olympic Movement, through Baron de Coubertin's initiative.
The mission of the IOA is:
- To function as an International Academic Centre for Olympic Studies, Education and Research.
- To act as an International Forum for free expression and exchange of ideas among the Olympic Family, intellectuals, scientists, athletes, sport administrators, educators, artists and the youth of the world.
- To bring together people from all over the world, in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.
- To motivate people to use the experiences and knowledge gained in the IOA productively, in promoting the Olympic Ideals in their respective countries.
- To serve and promote the Ideals and principles of the Olympic Movement.
- To cooperate with and assist the National Olympic Academies and any other institutions devoted to Olympic Education.
- To further explore and enhance the contribution of Olympism to humanity.
The Olympic Games are not able to force peace,
a supreme gift to which all aspire, but in the youth
of the entire world brought together is the opportunity
to find that all men of the earth are brothers.
