Sixteen sons and daughters of International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Olympic Museum staff accompanied their mother or father to work today. This day, called Oser tous les Métiers [Dare to do a Job], is part of the awareness-raising programme run by several Swiss cantons to allow primary and secondary school pupils (aged nine to 15) to discover the most diverse professions.

Throughout this exploration day, the pupils had the opportunity to discover jobs linked to communications and marketing, as well as various other activities (reception, library, photo library, education, etc.) at the Olympic Museum.




Fans of the Olympic Games
Interviewed after a first visit to the IOC headquarters, the children said they were impressed and fascinated, as much by the place as the general atmosphere. The children are also real fans of the Olympic Games.
