Abstract

There exist different linguistically, culturally and politically associated definitions and semantic meanings of the term “internationalism”. Internationalism in Olympic education has a very different meaning compared to Internationalism of Olympic education. As far as internationalism is concerned as a part of Olympic education or as an element in Olympic education, the nature or the body of knowledge of Olympic education is the topic. Internationalism of Olympic education means the geographical wide-spread diffusion and implementation of Olympic education programmes in different cross-cultural settings of learning and education. The topic of this paper is internationalism in Olympic education which means: to investigate how far a certain approach of internationalism has become a part of Olympic education concepts.
