YOUNG OLYMPIAN – PEACE FOR EVERYONE STOPP THE WAR!
Dear friends, dear friends of sports and arts!
The creation and establishment of the Olympic Games (Olympics) in Greece, in 776 BC((official), were surely great moments in the civilization of the time. Relaunch them in 1896 – as they had been banned and therefore “absent ”for more than 15 centuries – was also another culminating point that we owe to Mr. Pierre de Coubertin (Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin). In the beginning, the Olympics were all synonymous with sport, art and PEACE.
„Iera’ekecheiria „( join hands to make peace), did not really experienced a rebirth as such. So that’s all especially this aspect of peace, one of the basic components of
JO, which we would like to put back on the agenda in these times of universal wars and conflicts. We claim, for example, the establishment of an international symposium for peace and democratic dialogue during each „Olympiad“.
We, the members of the EUROPE INTERCULTURAL & FRIENDS initiative, would be delighted or even happy if, in tribute to Mr. Pierre de Coubertin, all of France and all francophiles supported this project, among others by signing our petition! All your comments or suggestions for improvement in favor of the project are of course welcome!
Project: REBUILD OLYMPIC PEACE! * (“Iera ekecheiria”) [Nowadays, peace is absolutely essential because that there are still too many armed conflicts around the world: 363 (three one hundred and sixty-three) clashes, wars included, were recorded ten years ago(Süddeutsche Zeitung of 18.01.2011).]
All the signatures collected will be presented to the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and this, among other things, for the promotion of the project.
ALL TOGETHER!
FOR WORLD OF PEACE, EVERY SIGNATURE COUNTS!

- The Olympics, dedicated to Zeus, King of the Gods, were The Event sporty, artistic and peaceful of Antiquity not to be missed! In 2010, for the first time, the Youth Olympics, i.e. for 14-18 year olds. The occasion of revive the OLYMPIC PEACE project! The first Olympic Games (Olympics) were held in Greece in 776 before our era and, for 12 centuries, they were considered The sporting, artistic and peaceful competition not to be missed. Emperor Theodosius I had them banned in 393. However, the French Pierre de Coubertin (bravo!) Had them reinstated at the end of the 19th century, so that in 1896 the Olympic Games took place again (in Greece).
- As a fervent and competent initiator of the Olympics, De Coubertin took special care to preserve its authenticity: parallel to sporting events – thus following the Greek motto „Kalo k’agatho“ (healthy and good) – there were also artistic competitions. In 1912, De Coubertin, under the pseudonym “ Georges Hohrod and Martin Eschbach ”, even won the very first gold medal in the discipline of literature thanks to the work „Ode At the sports „. (In 1913 he designed the Olympic rings, which became the symbol of the games in 1920.) Nowadays, the Olympics represent the celebration of sport. Art doesn’t is no longer part. But what’s more important is still here:
- Indeed, the Olympic Games were above all the symbol of fair play, of solidarity, mutual understanding and peace. (At the time, before the start of the Olympics, a law reestablished peace everywhere in the country.) Today, in the 21st century, wars are raging, and not just in Afghanistan or Iraq; repeat: 363 (three one hundred and sixty-three) clashes, wars included, are recorded currently worldwide (Süddeutsche Zeitung of 18.01.2011). This is why we must all – in a peremptory way – speak out in favor of the peace. Because war is the opposite of fair play, democracy, prosperity and solidarity. War is injustice, non-democracy, non-solidarity, the worst of miseries; it’s here terror, brutality, destruction and even the opposite of life. All together – with the Youth Olympics – we plead, by our signatures, so that henceforth at each Olympic Games, all countries at war undertake for at least one day to stop the conflicts and, instead, to ensure a just democratic DIALOGUE reign and indispensable. So that soon we can all access the justice and coexist in peace.
