The main objective of the O_live project is to enhance the awareness/skills of primary school students (8-10 years old) to adopt an active citizenship and democratic lifestyle built on the common values that Olympism and EU share. Values such as unity, respect and tolerance.

In this section we have gathered useful resources such as links, articles and other educational methods related to the above topics.
The material will be constantly enriched and is available not only to teachers or trainers but also to any visitor who wishes to deepen and be inspired…
