The actions of the Paralympic Movement for the Winter Games of Beijing 2022!

In an official ceremony held in Beijing, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the Beijing 2022 Organising Committee signed an agreement for the fifth edition of the Paralympic Excellence Programme. The Excellence Programme will be delivered by the IPC Academy, a partnership between the IPC and the World Academy of Sport which aims to improve educational standards of sport throughout the Paralympic Movement.

Over the next five years, the IPC Academy will deliver a range of educational activities and programmes geared towards the planning and successful delivery of the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games. Beijing 2022 will be the fifth Organising Committee to benefit from the Paralympic Excellence Programme, which was first launched in 2010. Successful programmes have already been implemented for Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016, whilst activities are ongoing with PyeongChang 2018 and Tokyo 2020. The programme includes a variety of learning opportunities, aiming to cater for the needs of Paralympic Winter Games organisers across the lifecycle of the planning and delivery of the Games.
