The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 84 DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARTE PASSERELLE TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO TRY DIFFERENT SPORTS The French National Olympic and Sports Committee has developed the Carte Passerelle, which allows all school children that are members of USEP or UGSEL and aged between 9 and 11 to try new sports free of charge within a network of participating sports clubs. Between the start of the school year in September and the October half term, the children will be able to take advantage of three taster sessions in a sports club before being asked to pay the membership fee to the federation. • CHAMPIONING SPORT TO CHANNEL A LOVE OF LEARNING AND FOSTER COMMUNITY SPIRIT Physical activity, sport, Olympism and Paralympism are wonderful educational tools for young people’s school years, not only benefiting their health but also helping them learn academic subjects and civic values. The Generation 2024 programme seeks to raise awareness of and promote educational tools, methods and resources. Paris 2024 wants to encourage initiatives that combine sport and its values with learning all academic subjects throughout children’s school years and is therefore committed to: • identifying and bringing together an extensive library of educational resources related to sport, sports participation, Olympism, Paralympism and all academic subjects; • creating additional educational resources to support teachers of all subjects by providing them with tools to cover all aspects of the Games (e.g. the 1936 Olympic Games to study propaganda, Usain Bolt’s performances to calculate speed, and the forces that act on a gymnast on a trampoline in physics class); • running the Generation 2024 community; • helping teachers make the most of educational resources; • highlighting and supporting projects that use sport to encourage children to stay in education. • The Generation 2024 programme seeks to encourage initiatives that enable people to take part in sports and learn about Olympic and Paralympic disciplines in order to: • promote Olympic and Paralympic sports and values, in connection with the values of the French Republic and community engagement; • introduce people to the Games and its values to foster greater community spirit. Friendship, excellence and respect are the three core Olympic values, whereas equality, courage, determination and inspiration are those of the Paralympic movement. They are promoted by the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees and form the foundation for the Generation 2024 programme. © – CNOSF/KMPS
