What is the Cultural Olympiad?
The Cultural Olympiad is one of the official deliverables requested by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for each host country of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This major cultural program, launched in 2021, will end with the end of the Paralympic Games in September 2024.
Throughout the national territory, the Ministry of Culture and the Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 (hereinafter referred to as «Paris 2024») aim to promote cultural initiatives that include the participation of artists or athletes with disabilities.
It is in this perspective that the Ministry and Paris 2024 have decided to jointly launch a call for projects illustrating the ambition of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to contribute to a more inclusive society.
Objectives
The Inspiration call for projects aims to encourage and financially support artistic creations that meet the following objectives:
- Enrich the inclusive dimension of the Cultural Olympiad’s programming while respecting the Olympic and Paralympic values
- Change perspectives and bring a better understanding and understanding of disability to a wide audience through artistic experiences
- Strengthen the links between creation, sport and disability and open to new perspectives of artistic collaborations
- Support artistic creation
The selected projects will benefit from the «Cultural Olympiad» Label granted by Paris 2024 after registration on the platform dedicated to the Olympiad, subject to acceptance of the general conditions of use of the label and compliance with the principles of the Olympic Charter.
