dc.description.abstract | Olympism, though a timeless ideal, was given shape in the late 19th century, by Baron Pierre de Coubertin and retains its sense of relevance in the 21st century, not least in the form of educational syllabi. This paper aims to critically present ideas and practices in the implementation of "Olympic Education" that were attempted for the first time at the Department of Education at the University of Cyprus during the academic year 2008-2009. The course was designed to assist students to increase their awareness of sport as a means not only to develop into top level athletes, but also to become good citizens and women and men of peace. Consistent with the aim of Olympic Education programmes to promote the cultivation of the body in parallel with the exercise and expansion of mental activities and capabilities, this paper argues that there is a demonstrable need to design and develop such courses as can be implemented for diverse groups. We conclude that efforts to implement "Olympic Education" programmes at a tertiary level may be beneficial in the dissemination of Olympic ideals and the harmonious, balanced and all-round development of students.
