Interdisciplinary project, "School:Olympic community"

The School Olympic community is an interdisciplinary Project carried out in a public primary school in Galicia which coincides with the 2012 London Olympic Games. Using the Olympic Values established by the COI in its program "teaching through values" as the foundation, we constructed a series of didactic materials related to the different subjects of the curriculum in order to be able to convey the true value of sports and the Olympic spirit in a lively manner. It is because of this that all of the commemorations and complimentary activities were related to the same theme, and at the end of the program we held a closing ceremony for our Scholars Olympic Games during which we received a visit from a member of the COE and a 2 time Paralympic medal winner. This article is no more than an example of, on the one hand, how to work on coexistence though a project that unifies the diverse fields of study and work teams within an educational centre and, on the other hand, an example of how to bring the wealth of sports to the whole of the educational community.
