Global Olympics
The Globeducate Global Olympics is an exciting sporting event designed to promote physical well-being, team skills, and international camaraderie among students. The competition is focused on fostering collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds, languages, and cultures, with teams comprising students from different schools and nationalities.
Students compete in a range of sports including football, volleyball, basketball, etc. These activities not only promote healthy competition but also embody the Olympic spirit of solidarity, companionship, and respect.
The Global Olympics provide an unforgettable platform for international collaboration, for connecting young minds and spirits for a global perspective, and for the formation of lifelong memories for the participating students and teachers.
This was the first Globeducate event I attended, and it exceeded all my expectations. Seeing hundreds of children start a competition as strangers and finish as friends, working together in mixed teams from different schools and nationalities, highlighted for me that students in Globeducate schools are part of a strong community. For my students, the learning opportunities were immense, from living with host families to learning about sports they had never played before

Living with our host families in Granada was an amazing experience. They welcomed us with open arms, took us to walk around the centre of the wonderful city and shared with us very interesting insights into the local culture. This hospitality, combined with making new friends from all over the world, made the whole event truly unforgettable

It has been an honour for our school to be able to welcome more than 300 pupils to our 32,000 m² of facilities. We observed with satisfaction how the values of respect, teamwork and discipline were paramount among the pupils. Thanks to being part of an educational group like Globeducate, it is possible to create and participate in these international events which enrich our students greatly
