“Opportunities and limits of the Olympic Movement for international understanding and peace in the context of current time“
The European Olympic Academies launched a new event series called “EOA Seminars”. In this series of regional workshops, experts and NOA delegates explore current issues in the Olympic Movement and means to apply them to the practice of the National Olympic Academies.
