“Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example, social responsibility and respect for internationally recognized human rights and universal fundamental ethical principles.”

This year’s Games will pursue the goal of Olympism under the slogan, Games Wide Open.
 
In a first, this is the shared slogan for both the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. It serves President of Paris 2024 (and former Olympic slalom canoer), Tony Estanguet’s stand to take the Olympic and Paralympic movement into a new era:

“To deliver bold and creative Games that dare to take a step outside the box, to challenge the current models, our ways of seeing things, our paradigms; to give us the opportunity to come together, to be proud together, to experience together. Quite simply a Games wide open."
