THE EDUCATION THROUGH SPORT CALL FOR PROPOSALS Sport can play an invaluable role in children’s academic achievement. Sports clubs teach children civic values, engagement and respect for others outside of the home and school environment and sometimes offer extra tutoring and school mediation. Children who regularly take part in sport are more fulfilled, have a better attention span and, ultimately, experience greater academic success. Paris 2024 and Paris City Council therefore launched an “Education through Sport” call for proposals to support sports- based education and reintegration projects. Five projects have been implemented since September 2019. The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 86 1,000 WORK EXPERIENCE PLACEMENTS ORGANISED BY THE GREATER PARIS REGIONAL AUTHORITIES EVERY YEAR TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES The placements aim to raise 15-year-old school children’s awareness of the Olympic values, physical activity and or/sport, the role of volunteers and the sectors involved in organising the Games. The Greater Paris regional authorities are keen to engage and bring all young people along on the journey to ensure they play an active role in the Games so they truly feel part of this exceptional event. Each intake will be welcomed at the Greater Paris Regional Council in Saint-Ouen, go on trips and attend activities and talks at different venues, some of which will host Olympic and/ or Paralympic events in 2024.
