It has successfully unlocked and cultivated full potential of thousands of participants interested in the Olympic subjects, which also laid the solid foundation for CTOA’s development of the Olympic education.

In an effort to pass on the values of the Olympic spirit to the future generations, the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC) hereby plays an active role in arranging participation for targeted groups in educational sessions held by the International Olympic Academy (IOA) and National Olympic Academies, in addition to the promotion of the Olympic education within the island.
