OVEP Resources
OVEP Toolkit
The OVEP Toolkit is a set of free teaching resources designed to enhance any educational curriculum with Olympic-themed activities, teaching strategies and inspirational materials. It contains three key resources, available in multiple languages, which can be accessed below.
Fundamentals of Olympic Values Education: A Sports-based Programme
This is the core resource of the programme and the primary knowledge base for OVEP. It provides an introduction to Olympic values education that explores the principles of Olympism and themes of Olympic education and connects the core elements of the Olympic Games to values-based educational opportunities.
Activity Sheets: Exercises to support Olympic Values Education
Each Activity Sheet is a printable guide to a set of hands-on activities that use Olympic themes, symbols and traditions to produce creative and thought-provoking activities.
The Activity Sheets have been designed to meet the developmental capabilities of primary and secondary school pupils. They can be used in any order or modified to fit the learning environment.

Sports Values in Every Classroom
This is a universal framework for installing values and teaching transferable life skills to 8-12 year olds in any subject area. This publication was launched in 2019, as the result of joint work between six international partners: UNESCO, Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage, Agitos Foundation, World Anti-Doping Agency, and the International Fair Play Committee. This cross-curricular toolkit can be used to help instill and reinforce the values of sport and the development of global citizenship.
