The Pierre de Coubertin National Committees (PdC) of Brazil and Portugal have joined forces to translate the educational book "Unravelling Pierre de Coubertin" into Portuguese and make it available through the International Olympic Committee's Centre for Olympic Studies (CEO-IOC).
This educational resource is aimed at teachers, pupils and students. It helps teachers to organise and conduct lessons on the various themes addressed by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Olympic Games, throughout his life, including the symbols and values of Olympism, his vision of sport for all, his position on the participation of women in the Olympic Games, his vision of the contribution of sport to international understanding and peace, and the spirit of chivalry and fair play. Through this document, students are able to understand how these issues were perceived in the historical and social context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and extend their reflection to today's society.
The book is available at the World Olympic Library: Unravelling Pierre de Coubertin : an educational programme founded on the words of Pierre de Coubertin / The Olympic Studies Centre - Olympic World Library
