The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 79 SUPPORTING AND CELEBRATING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SPORT AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE ROLE OF SPORT IN EDUCATION AMBITIONS AND INITIATIVES Right from the bidding stage, the Paris 2024 Legacy strategy sought to design and implement a youth programme, in collaboration with all stakeholders concerned. The intention is for the initiatives to continue to run well beyond 2024. The Generation 2024 programme is structured around three objectives: 1. Encourage children to become more physically active and involved in sport, from pre-school to post-grad: support and develop physical activity and boost participation in sport among young people 2. Champion sport to channel a love of learning and foster community spirit: encourage the use of sport in education, in particular among children struggling at school, as a vector for academic achievement and promote the values of sport, Olympism and Paralympism 3. Use sport to drive engagement and citizenship Young people are the primary focus of the Paris 2024 Legacy and Sustainability strategy, through two major ambitions: 1. Promote physical activity and sporting engagement among young people and those around them 2. Support and champion the role of sport, physical activity and PE in helping children thrive, instilling a love of learning, community spirit and civic engagement To achieve these ambitions, Paris 2024 is working alongside all stakeholders who work day in, day out to achieve these objectives (including the educational community, school sports federations and others involved in the sporting movement, as well as local authorities). One of the keys to success lies in cooperating with all areas of the National Education system, school and university sports federations and coordination with the sporting movement. The areas that have been awarded the “Terre de Jeux 2024” label are another important ally in our efforts to strengthen the position of physical activity in the day-to-day lives of children.
