CANADIAN OLYMPIC SCHOOL PROGRAM

To get students interested in and excited about athletes and sports both before and after a “Jouez gagnant!” talk, INS Québec invites teachers and schools to take advantage of the resources provided by the Canadian Olympic School Program.

Thanks to a partnership between INS Québec and the Canadian Olympic Committee, schools have access to a range of teaching tools developed by the Canadian Olympic Committee. By using these educational materials in class, schools can prepare their students for the athlete’s arrival by encouraging them to discuss and think about issues faced by both young people and high-performance athletes. Combined with the material in the Canadian Olympic School Program, “Jouez gagnant!” talks are the result of a joint effort seeking to inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
