AT THE HEART OF OSE: THE CLUBS.

Clubs are the living cells of the worldwide Olympic and Sporting Movement.

Young OSE ambassadors gathered in a circle on a sports field, symbolising the partner clubs of the OSE programme

Connecting clubs around the world through their young ambassadors means helping to strengthen the entire Olympic and Sporting Movement.

Every day, all around the world, millions of young people, educators, volunteers, leaders and families keep these essential cells alive.

It is within clubs that values are passed on, pathways are built, vocations are born and the future of sport is shaped.

OSE was born from a simple conviction:

if clubs are the cells of the worldwide Olympic and Sporting Movement, then connecting them together helps to strengthen the whole organism.

This is the mission entrusted to OSE Ambassadors.

WHY OSE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR CLUB

1. Train
an ambassador

Your young athlete represents your club abroad. They become your privileged link with another club and another sporting culture.

2. Discover
other practices

Your ambassador observes, asks questions and learns. They discover other methods, other organisations, other ways of experiencing sport.

3. Build
international links

Every ambassador becomes a bridge between two sporting communities. Lasting friendships and partnerships are formed.

4. Enrich
your club

These discoveries come back to the club in the form of testimonials, videos, reports and meetings, helping everyone to progress together.

5. Contribute to
a collective endeavour

Your club takes part in the Living Library of the World's Sporting Practices and helps build a more united and stronger sporting Movement.
