The Olympic and Paralympic Week (OPW) is a week-long event to promote participation in sport among young people and inspire the educational community to take action around the core Olympic and Paralympic values of civic engagement and sport. It is aimed at teachers, students and their parents, from pre-school to post-grad, and also engages local and regional authorities, sports federations and associations, as well as high-level athletes. It is held throughout France and in French schools abroad. The OPW offers opportunities for young people to get involved in different sports, discover the Olympic and Paralympic movement, change perspectives on disabilities, and also meet high-level athletes.
