SCHOOLS
DARE TO BELIEVE
Sponsored by Allianz Ireland and developed with the support of the IOC Olympic Solidarity Fund, the Olympic Federation of Ireland schools programme aims to inspire the young people of Ireland to ‘Dare to Believe’ in themselves through an interactive curriculum that explores the Olympic Values using Team Ireland role models to bring the messages to life.
As it moves into its third phase, 44 athlete ambassadors will visit schools across Ireland telling their stories of resilience and teaching students how to set goals, adopt healthy lifestyles through sport, and how sport can be used as a positive societal tool.
Resource packs that cover the Olympic Values of Respect & Equality, Healthy Mind & Body, Joy of Effort and Striving for Excellence are sent to schools to prepare for the Dare to Believe Ambassador’s visit. All materials are user-friendly, completely free and are developed in line with the Irish school’s curriculum strands for teachers.
