The European Values Olympiad
Inclusion, Dialogue and Civic Participation across Europe
Project - OLYMPICEU
The initiative was coordinated by the Italo-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce of Athens and involved municipalities from Greece and Italy, including Pyrgos, Ancient Olympia, Andravida-Kyllini, Crotone, Squillace and Cirò Marina. These territories share historical and cultural links connected to Magna Graecia and the common heritage of European values.
The project promoted democratic engagement, social inclusion and gender equality at local level, encouraging stronger connections between citizens, institutions and local communities through dialogue and transnational cooperation activities.
By focusing on inclusive participation and active civic engagement, OLYMPICEU contributed to strengthening trust between citizens and local authorities, encouraging cooperation, mutual understanding and shared democratic values across Europe.
Inspired by the spirit of the ancient Olympic tradition, the project created opportunities for citizens and communities to meet, exchange experiences and develop long-term pathways of European cooperation and participation.
