The Olympics for Solidarity Studies is an innovative action regarding development education as well as an efficient way to educate the youth of the North to solidarity concepts .

The project was launched by a Spanish NGO named Coopera and was organized for the first ime in 2003 in the city of Logrono (Northern Spain)

The idea is quite easy : “ when you study ..you are cooperating...”
For each study hour in the scope of the Olympics (lasting 4 weeks) , one euro will be paid by one of our partners to a development project in the South.

The objective is to make the Youth realize that they can easily contribute through their study efforts, rather than in a financial way, to a development project for a more sustainable and equitable world.

Through this original action, students show their solidarity in an active way and they become actors of a positive evolution in the humanitarian aid sector.
