This program offers the students an immersive experience in Lausanne, the Olympic Capital. Lausanne is home to the International Olympic Committee and more than fifty International Sports Federations and organisations.
On the 17th of June we met at the Maison du Sport International, Lausanne, to discuss about governance, sustainability and youth development.
