FR24JB MSTE - UNIVERSAL - Olympics flag creation

10 juin 2024

Students are grouped according to their defined group for the final olympics.

They must first learn about the history and symbolism of the Olympic flag and discover how an opening ceremony is conducted. The Olympic rings appeared for the first time in 1913 on the header of a letter written by Pierre de Coubertin, drawn and coloured in his own handwriting. The five interlaced rings represent the five continents united by Olympism. As for the six colours (including the white in the background), they represent all the nations. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a powerful moment because all the participating athletes share universal values.

So students will be able to become more involved in their own Olympics and understand the importance of having symbols common to a team.

Finally, students will create their own Olympic flag and an Olympic anthem (instrumental music with verses in different languages).

Students understand the importance of working in a team and are able to exchange ideas and exercise their creativity.

Create an Olympic flag and anthem for each team, and help them understand the universal nature of Olympism
