Nowadays, Physical education at school, needs a different point of view and new strategies if we want to promote those classes, and to be focus on contemporary world. It means that a new concept and proposal are spreading a different knowledge not only for students, but also for teachers, who are looking for a better contribution on human being´s personality, identity and values. (Psychological formation, democratic conscience and personal autonomy)
The related relation set up also the values on the importance of an ethical education on the formation of the responsible individuals to face the challenges that the style of present life imposes. Sports and Olympism are the average for the conscious formation, complete and healthful, of citizens of a future formed stable and reliable society in values.
The roll of sport and Olympism, is the one to offer average for the formation of the ethical capacities and the habits of the young people. Contributing to spread the terminology and understanding of the Olympism, interrelating the physical education with the other areas of study, will be able to be worked altogether by the integral formation of students, and with a new proposal in the implementation of specific institutional and aulic projects educative.
