Education Programs

In September 2007, VANOC launched /EDU, an online interactive learning environment where students, teachers and the public can learn more about Vancouver 2010, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, and the three pillars of sport, culture and sustainability.

Every issue of /EDU contains a lead story; resources developed by teachers and non-profit organizations across Canada, including the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Canadian museums, environmental groups and arts and culture organizations; and, interactive programs connected to a wide range of school curricula and student interests as well as to the 2010 Winter Games.

Vancouver 2010.com/EDU connects schools to schools, teachers to teachers and students to students — and all to Vancouver 2010.

Schools from across Canada can showcase their projects related to sport, culture and sustainability, Vancouver 2010 and the Olympic and Paralympic Movements on /EDU.

Teachers can share ideas, tips and resources in the bilingual online forum. This dynamic space connects teachers to each other as well as to a variety of resources and educational experts.

The /EDU students’ section is about bringing students together and helping them be the best they can be. Inspirational interviews with athletes, artists and others with personal stories of drive, passion and commitment for sport, culture and sustainability will offer ideas of how to achieve personal goals.
