Olympism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olympism is a philosophy of life established within the Fundamental Principles of Olympism of the Olympic Charter.
As stated in the Principles of Olympism of the Olympic Charter, "Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles."
As stated on the website of the International Olympic Academy, "The International Olympic Academy functions as a multicultural interdisciplinary centre that aims at studying, enriching and promoting Olympism."
