INTRODUCTION

The International Olympic Academy Participants Association (IOAPA) is a volunteer organisation whose members have the Olympic Movement at heart. We strive to foster an international and multicultural Olympic fellowship of IOA past participants, providing tools and resources to facilitate Olympic education and support Olympism worldwide. We host our official session every two years.

The first portion is held online where we have our General Assembly, elections, and conduct the regular work of the Association. Guest speakers are woven through the 4-Day programme (Click link).

The second portion is held at the IOA premises in Ancient Olympia. About a weeklong, the in-person session focuses on the continuous Olympic Education of the IOAPA members with lecturers, workshops and visits and provides a great opportunity to return to Olympia and the IOA, meet new members and renew old friendships.
