A pedagogue, a historian and a builder of the future.
“My unwavering faith in youth and the future remains the guiding principle of my work.”
Pierre de Coubertin
Most people know Pierre de Coubertin as the reviver of the Olympic Games. Yet this achievement represents only part of his vision.
Coubertin dreamed of an ideal city: the ALTIS. A human chivalry founded on eurythmy, this pursuit of harmony between the different dimensions of existence.
The OSE Triple Project echoes this same intuition.
“It is everyone's duty to save their humanity by taking responsibility for their own power to evolve.”
“The Olympic idea is not a system, but a spiritual and moral attitude.”
Understanding the past to illuminate the future: a conviction at the heart of OSE.
After his presidency of the IOC, Coubertin devoted his energy to the education of young people and to educational cooperation between peoples through the UPU and the International Bureau of Sports Pedagogy (BIPS).
Because the future of humanity is shaped through education.
Sport, the arts and literature in service of the harmonious development of the individual.
Everyone is responsible for their own power to evolve and for safeguarding their humanity.
Olympism as a path to mutual understanding and peace.
Youth carries the future and deserves trust, respect and guidance.
“My unwavering faith in youth and the future remains the guiding principle of my work.”
More than a century after its creation, OSE carries forward this same trust placed in youth.
