28th OLYMPIC WEEK

YOUNG PEOPLE IN CONTACT WITH OLYMPISM
FROM 12 TO 16 OCTOBER 2008

WELCOME TO OLYMPIC WEEK!

The whole Olympic Museum team is pleased to host and enjoy with you joyous and unforgettable moments during its big meeting in October.

It’s the chance to share the values of Olympism: practise sport, improve your cultural knowledge, meet new people and make friends!

The programme is rich and diverse. Give in to your curiosity and don’t hesitate to try out new experiences.

This year, China is being honoured. After the Olympic Games in Beijing, part of the Week’s activities will be devoted to Chinese culture! An occasion for you to "travel", forget your customs and dive into another universe: perhaps you will find some common points with your way of life; you may even want to visit the Middle Kingdom one day.

See you soon!
