A question?

Combining art and sport – or “muscles and mind” as Pierre de Coubertin put it – is one of Olympism’s cornerstones. Art and sport interact and enrich one other with the Paris 2024 Games. For the Games to be open, participatory, uniting, and inclusive, Paris 2024 is encouraging everyone – artists, troupes, non-profits, communities, sports clubs, and others – to play a part in the Games’ cultural programme. This programme is providing opportunities for people in towns and cities to take part in the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad right now!

CULTURAL OLYMPIAD

## WHAT IS THE CULTURAL OLYMPIAD?

The Cultural Olympiad is a multidisciplinary artistic and cultural programme that will run before and during the Games and until 8 September 2024. Through this programme, the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are opening their doors wide to culture and artists. Throughout France and its overseas territories, and in constant dialogue with the Olympic and Paralympic movements, the Cultural Olympiad is a people's festival featuring thousands of events (mostly free and open to the public) at the crossroads of art, sport and Olympic values.

« Sport and culture are sometimes pitted against each other, but I think they have a lot in common: performance, emotions, the quest for beauty of movement, but also, and above all, their ability to offer a diversity of disciplines that are all unique channels of expression for building oneself up, emancipating oneself, finding one's path, feeling good... The Cultural Olympiad is an opportunity, for the 1st time, to show everything that brings us together. It's an opportunity to celebrate the values, meaning and diversity that sport and culture have in common. »
