Primary School Programme

The Dare to Believe primary school programme brings the Olympics to classrooms, inspiring students to believe in themselves through an Olympic Values curriculum. Launched in 2019, it’s now in thousands of schools, reaching hundreds of thousands of students. Funded by the IOC and PTSB, we provide teachers and students with modules and lessons covering Olympic and Paralympic values like excellence, respect, healthy mind body & society.

Schools can apply to win a  Team Ireland Olympic Ambassador visit at the beginning of each school term to really excites and motivates students and bring the curriculum to life.
