This book is largely a collection of the papers presented at the
symposium Olympism, Olympic Education and Learning Legacies,
organised by the Comite Internationale Pierre de Coubertin (CIPC).
It was held during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games at
Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, United Kingdom. The
symposium drew together presenters and audience members from
twenty-five nations on four continents to discuss current and
future challenges of education and the Olympic Movement.While most
books on the Olympics focus on economic issues or on aspects
related to the management of the Games (such as legacies and
impacts), this book remains faithful to Coubertin's original vision
about youth, sport and education. Olympism as a philosophical and
educational idea is analysed in particular detail. Coubertin's
thoughts play a central role in many of the contributions of
leading academics in the field, while historical perspectives
unveil new insights. Young researchers are given a platform to
publish their own accounts in interpreting the Olympics. The
different insights of the book have something to offer to anyone
with an interest in sport, education, and the Olympic Movement,
either as a student, teacher, academic, athlete, coach or
spectator.
