their joint support for the project GinÃ¡sio
Experimental OlÃ­mpico or GEO, a model for
schools that prepare teenagers for life with

Since 2013, NOC*NSF and the GEO schools
have been organising twice-yearly workshops
and clinics, in which we ask a former or
current Olympic or Paralympic athlete to
share their knowledge with the students.
In my view, this represents the ultimate
embodiment of the Olympic spirit.

are talking to them about what the Olympic
and Paralympic Games meant to them, or just
showing their medals. Of course they havenâ€™t
heard of the big names of Dutch sport. But
that medal says it all. It takes their breath
away, just like it takes my breath away to see
the passion, the single-mindedness and focus
with which the young students, a lot of them
from Rioâ€™s slums, take part in these Olympic
clinics.
For the first time in the history of the
Netherlands Olympic Committee weâ€™re not
just coming to â€˜take somethingâ€™ from the city
in which the Games are to be organised, but
weâ€™re also coming here to â€˜bring somethingâ€™
of our own. Weâ€™re doing so with the aid of a
large number of athletes, every one of whom
was happy to take part in these GEO events.
Under the general motto of â€˜sharing
knowledge is multiplying knowledgeâ€™,
hundreds of children have learned to get
just a little bit better at table tennis, judo,
volleyball, swimming, korfball, basketball,
or running. And they have drawn inspiration
from the fantastic stories of the Dutch
Olympic and Paralympic athletes, such as
Hinkelien Schreuder and Inge Huitzing, who
understand better than most that with sport
you can win much more than medals.
I watched the children stare in disbelief as
the Paralympic champion Marlou van Rhijn
changed out of her prostheses and put on
her blades for the training session she was
to give - blades on which she demonstrated
incredible sprinting times on the athletics
course of the GEO school Santa Teresa. It was
simply marvellous to watch from a distance
and to see her encouraging and inspiring the
children, firing them up with her enthusiasm.

isso Ã© a melhor forma de espirito olÃ­mpico.
Nos Ãºltimos anos visitei uma sÃ©rie destas
oficinas, e me deu enorme alegria ver todos
aqueles rostinhos felizes quando Marleen
Veldhuis, Trinko Keen, Ron Zwerver ou
Elisabeth Willeboordse falavam sobre a
importÃ¢ncia de sua experiÃªncia nos Jogos
OlÃ­mpicos, ou simplesmente mostravam
suas medalhas. Claro que as crianÃ§as
nÃ£o conheciam aqueles herÃ³is do esporte
holandÃªs, mas a medalha dizia tudo. Ficavam
sem palavras, como eu fico sem palavras
sempre que vejo a paixÃ£o, a motivaÃ§Ã£o
e a dedicaÃ§Ã£o que os jovens alunos das
comunidades carentes do Rio exibem quando
competem nas oficinas olÃ­mpicas.
Pela primeira vez na histÃ³ria do ComitÃª

tambÃ©m trazendo algo. Algo que trouxemos
com a ajuda de um grande nÃºmero de atletas,
que toparam todos participar destas reuniÃµes

What GEO stands for /
O que Ã© GEO
The GinÃ¡sios Experimentais OlÃ­mpicos
(Experimental Olympic Gymnasia), an
initiative of the city of Rio de Janeiro, are
schools located on the fringes of the slums
or favelas. Most of their students, who are
aged 11 to 15, also come from the favelas.
Their daily routine includes a full programme
of classes, including at least two hoursâ€™
sport, and three meals a day. â€˜Some of the
kids serve themselves three helpings at
breakfast,â€™ observed Herbert Wolff, Head of
International Affairs at NOC*NSF, who was
closely involved in the project from the outset.
â€˜You could see that it came from real hunger.
That affected me deeply.â€™
Origins
In October 2009, after the IOC had assigned
the 2016 Olympic Games to Rio de Janeiro,
a delegation from the city visited Beijing
to learn how the Chinese had tackled the
2008 Games. During this trip the delegation
also learned about Chinaâ€™s combination of
sport and education at primary schools. The
Brazilians were not familiar with this concept,
but determined to introduce it in Rio to get
young people involved in future Olympic and
Paralympic Games. Three years later, in 2012,
the first of the new ginÃ¡sios opened in the
district of Santa Teresa. By now Rio has four
of these schools, each one attended by 350 to
400 students.

Localizados prÃ³ximos Ã s comunidades

OlÃ­mpicos sÃ£o uma iniciativa da prefeitura do
Rio de Janeiro.
A maioria dos alunos, com idades entre
11 e 15 anos, tambÃ©m se origina dessas
comunidades. Os alunos estudam o dia
todo na escola (incluindo trÃªs refeiÃ§Ãµes) e
ainda praticam um mÃ­nimo de duas horas
de esporte por dia. â€œAlguns enchem o prato
trÃªs vezes no cafÃ© da manhÃ£,â€� diz Herbert
Wolff, diretor de Assuntos Internacionais do
NOC*NSF, que esteve evolvido no projeto
desde o inÃ­cio. â€œVocÃª percebe que eles nÃ£o
estÃ£o sÃ³ com â€˜vontade de comerâ€™, que Ã© fome

A origem do projeto
Depois que o Rio foi escolhido pelo COI
como sede dos Jogos OlÃ­mpicos de 2016,
em outubro de 2009, uma delegaÃ§Ã£o
carioca visitou a cidade de Pequim (China)
para aprender mais sobre a abordagem
chinesa para os Jogos de 2008. Durante
esta visita, a delegaÃ§Ã£o tambÃ©m aprendeu
sobre a combinaÃ§Ã£o de esporte e educaÃ§Ã£o
nas escolas primÃ¡rias. Os brasileiros
nÃ£o conheciam esse conceito, e queriam
introduzi-lo no Rio de Janeiro para tornar
seus jovens mais engajados nos futuros
Jogos OlÃ­mpicos. TrÃªs anos depois, em 2012,

Objective
The curriculum, which is unique to Brazil,
give students a combination of sport and
education in which standards of conduct
and values take pride of place. Many of the
students come from Rioâ€™s slums. â€˜Most of
them see no future, no prospect of improving
their lives,â€™ says Wolff. â€˜Sadly, they come to
believe that they cannot change their lives,
that everything will always stay the same. But
the GEO schools change everything for them.â€™
Teaching life skills is one of the main points
of emphasis in the education programme,
which is provided free of charge. Sport
provides an opportunity to apply these skills.
The students were selected on the basis of
tests in arithmetic and language skills and on
the basis of their passion â€“ rather than pure
talent â€“ for sport. The GEO project does not
focus on training future top athletes but on
the personal development of the students, to
improve their prospects of success in society.
The Dutch connection
NOC*NSF and the Dutch Consulate in Rio
have been involved in the GEO project since
2012. In the first place, because both parties
believe in the powerful potential of combining
sport and education. NOC*NSF is also acting
on the basis of the principle, as Herbert Wolff
says, â€˜We donâ€™t want to just take something
inauguraram o primeiro ginÃ¡sio no bairro
de Santa Teresa. Depois deste, mais trÃªs
foram inaugurados, cada uma com 350 a 400
alunos.
O objetivo
O currÃ­culo, inÃ©dito no Brasil, oferece aos
alunos uma combinaÃ§Ã£o de esporte e
educaÃ§Ã£o onde os valores desempenham
um papel central. Muitos alunos moram em
comunidades carentes do Rio Janeiro. â€œPara
a maioria deles nÃ£o existe futuro, nÃ£o existe
perspectivaâ€�, diz Wolff. â€œE, infelizmente,
muitas crianÃ§as acreditam nisso. Acreditam
que nÃ£o sÃ£o capazes de mudar suas vidas,
que vai ser sempre assim.â€�
O desenvolvimento de habilidades para a
vida Ã© um dos principais objetivos de ensino
das escolas (que sÃ£o gratuitas), o que Ã© feito
atravÃ©s da prÃ¡tica de esportes. Os alunos
sÃ£o selecionados por seu conhecimento
bÃ¡sico de matemÃ¡tica e portuguÃªs, mas
tambÃ©m pela paixÃ£o (e nÃ£o necessariamente
por seu talento) pelo esporte. O projeto
GEO nÃ£o pretende preparar futuros atletas
profissionais; o foco Ã© o desenvolvimento
pessoal dos alunos, para que eles tenham
muito mais chances de ser bem-sucedidos
como membros da sociedade.

also want to give something.â€™ In concrete
terms, NOC*NSF and its sponsors, the
Partners in Sport, made it possible to send
a present or past top athletes to Rio every
six months to give workshops and clinics.
The Dutch Consulate has also participated;
it helped to set up the partnership between
NOC*NSF and the education secretariat in
Rio de Janeiro. This led to a memorandum
of understanding between NOC*NSF and the
city of Rio. The Consulate has also repeatedly
drawn attention to the GEO project with the
media and among potential partners in both
the Netherlands and Brazil.
Past and present Dutch top athletes
In May 2013, the former top judoka Elisabeth
Willeboordse became the first to visit the
GEO schools for a number of clinics and
presentations. Then came Ron Zwerver
(volleyball), the swimmers Marleen Veldhuis
and Johan Kenkhuis, the Paralympic
athlete Marlou van Rhijn, the wheelchair
basketball player Inge Huitzing, table tennis
player Trinko Keen, another delegation of
swimmers including Marcel Wouda, Sharon
van Rouwendaal, Ferry Weertman and Marcel
Schouten, the Dutch korfball youth team and
finally, in the spring of 2016, the swimmers
Hinkelien Schreuder and Bastiaan Tamminga.
The Olympic athletes gave a presentation
about their personal development, their
sporting dreams, their setbacks and the way
they overcame them, the highs and lows of
their career, and the meaning of Olympic
values like respect, friendship and the pursuit
of excellence to their sporting careers. Each
one also gave clinics in their branch of sport.

tornaram possÃ­vel que a cada seis meses
um atleta ou ex-atleta de elite holandÃªs
viajasse ao Rio para participar de oficinas.
O consulado holandÃªs tambÃ©m participou;
ajudou na colaboraÃ§Ã£o entre o NOC*NSF
e a SecretÃ¡ria da EducaÃ§Ã£o do Rio, uma
parceria que resultou em um Memorando
de Entendimento entre o NOC*NSF e a
Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, e tambÃ©m
divulgou o projeto GEO na mÃ­dia e entre
potenciais parceiros na Holanda e no Brasil.
Atletas e ex-atletas de elite da Holanda
Em maio de 2013, a ex-judoca Elisabeth
Willeboordse foi a primeira a visitar as
escolas GEO para participar de vÃ¡rias
oficinas e apresentaÃ§Ãµes. Em seguida
vieram Ron Wanderer (vÃ´lei), os nadadores
Marleen Veldhuis e Johan Kenkhuis, a atleta
ParalÃ­mpica Marlou van Rhijn, a estrela do
basquete de cadeira de rodas Inge Huitzing,
o tenista de mesa Trinko Keen, uma segunda
delegaÃ§Ã£o de nadadores com Marcel Wouda,
Sharon Van Rouwendaal, Ferry Weertman
e Marcel Schouten, a seleÃ§Ã£o holandesa
juvenil de corfebol (esporte nÃ£o-olÃ­mpico) e -
finalmente â€“ no inÃ­cio de 2016 - os nadadores
Hinkelien Schreuder e Bastiaan Tamminga.
Os atletas olÃ­mpicos fizeram uma

visit a number of children were really inspired
and tackled things differently afterwards. We
have to look at that â€“ at those few individuals
to whom we can really give something that
lasts.â€™
The students thought it fantastic that Dutch
top athletes had taken the trouble to go all
the way to Rio. For them. It was not just the
clinics that made an impression on them;
even more important, perhaps, were the
personal stories told by the top athletes.
Firstly, every one of the athletes who
participated said that they recalled the visit
with feelings of great warmth.
Future
From the outset in 2012 the NOC*NSF was
clear that it would withdraw from the GEO
project after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
NOC*NSFâ€™s aim was to provide inspiration
and an initial galvanising force for others,
who could take over the baton after the
Games. Enthusiasm for the project has
soared in the Netherlands over the past few
years. For instance, Elisabeth Willeboordseâ€™s
foundation Judo2Inspire gave GEO students
an opportunity to visit the Netherlands, and
Trinko Keen collected material to boost the
development of table tennis at the schools.
Other initiatives are planned, and NOC*NSF
will continue to work on strengthening
the ties and partnership between the
participating Dutch groups and the GEO
schools.
contratempos e perseveranÃ§a, seus altos
e baixos, e sobre o significado de valores
olÃ­mpicos como respeito, amizade e excelÃªncia
para sua carreira desportiva. AlÃ©m disso,
organizaram oficinas sobre o seu esporte.
â€œA cada visita, percebÃ­amos que alguns
alunos ficavam comovidos pelo que viam e
comeÃ§aram a mudar algumas coisas em suas
prÃ³prias vidas,â€� conta Wolff. â€œPrecisamos
olhar para isso; para aqueles que realmente
podemos ajudar de alguma forma.â€�
Os alunos adoravam o fato de que os atletas
holandeses se esforÃ§avam para vir ao Rio de
Janeiro. Especificamente para visitÃ¡-los. Se
impressionaram nÃ£o sÃ³ com as oficinas, mas
tambÃ©m com as histÃ³rias pessoais dos atletas.
E os atletas, do outro lado, tambÃ©m guardam
lembranÃ§as maravilhosas de sua visita.
O Futuro
Desde o inÃ­cio em 2012, o NOC*NSF havia
deixado claro que se retiraria do projeto
GEO apÃ³s os Jogos OlÃ­mpicos Rio 2016.
A ideia era que o NOC*NSF servisse de
inspiraÃ§Ã£o e motivaÃ§Ã£o para outras pessoas,
que assumiriam o projeto depois dos Jogos.
Nos Ãºltimos anos, o projeto tem gerado
enorme entusiasmo na Holanda: Elisabeth
Willeboordse (junto com sua fundaÃ§Ã£o
Judo2Inspire) tem dado a alguns alunos
do Projeto GEO a oportunidade de visitar
a Holanda, e Trinko Keen captou recursos
para ajudar a promover o desenvolvimento
do tÃªnis de mesa nas escolas. HÃ¡ mais
iniciativas sendo desenvolvidas, e o NOC*NSF
vai continuar trabalhando para fortalecer
contatos e parcerias entre a Holanda e as
escolas GEO.

learning results achieved at the schools that
participate in the program. Its vocationalbased

multiple talents and ensure an educational

From the very beginning of the project, the
municipal government of Rio de Janeiro

strategies that could improve this sportsdriven

constant visits by Dutch athletes to encourage
students are and have been a fundamental

nation. But in May 2013 she had seen a different side of the

top athletes who visited the GEO project in Rio at NOC*NSFâ€™s
request. She went there to talk about her own sporting
dreams and to give a couple of clinics.
â€˜They gave me an amazing
reception. They thought it was
fantastic that we were visiting

drawing. She told me: â€œElisabeth, you really changed my life.â€�

olÃ­mpica de bronze (2008) e participante (2012)
E
la veio para inspirar, e retornou cheia de inspiraÃ§Ã£o. No
voo de volta do Rio de Janeiro para AmsterdÃ£, Elisabeth
Willeboordse tinha certeza: â€œtenho que fazer alguma
coisa com isso.â€�
A atleta jÃ¡ havia visitado o Rio vÃ¡rias vezes: o Brasil Ã© um paÃ­s
importante no mundo do judÃ´. Mas em maio de 2013, a exjudoca
conheceu um outro Rio de Janeiro: o Rio das crianÃ§as
das favelas. Ela tinha sido a primeira de uma sÃ©rie de atletas
e ex-atletas holandeses que visitaram o Rio a pedido do
NOC*NSF para participar do projeto GEO. Para falar de seu
sonho esportivo e dar algumas oficinas.
â€œA recepÃ§Ã£o foi maravilhosa. As crianÃ§as se emocionaram
quando visitamos suas escolas. Queriam me tocar e segurar
a minha medalha. Arregalavam os olhos com algo tÃ£o trivial...
Claro, a medalha de bronze de Pequim vale muito para mim,
mas hÃ¡ tantos que jÃ¡ ganharam o ouro olÃ­mpico. Mas para as
crianÃ§as, isso nÃ£o importava.â€�
Antes de sua chegada, as crianÃ§as aprenderam sobre a
Holanda e sobre o desempenho de Willeboordse no tatame.
â€œUma menina tinha atÃ© feito um desenho para mim e disse:
â€˜Elisabeth, vocÃª realmente mudou a minha vidaâ€™. Fiquei
arrepiada. Pensei: â€˜Como vocÃª pode dizer isso?â€™ Mas para
eles era tÃ£o real. A professora Soraya Tavares tambÃ©m me
disse que acrescentei alguma coisa a suas vidas. Algo que
desconheciam. â€˜Bemâ€™, eu pensei, â€˜se Ã© tÃ£o simples assim, eu
quero acrescentar muito mais. Manda ver!â€™â€�

The pleasure and the passion during the

for them to experience this tiny piece of Rio
during their training camps. The stories I
heard afterwards were always enthusiastic. I
hope that our contribution to the GEO project

Committee, which launched its multi-year
partnership with the city of Rio de Janeiro
back in 2012. The underlying philosophy is
that weâ€™re not just interested in medals, but
also seek to achieve a wider positive impact
on Brazilian society. Giving as well as getting,
in other words. The Dutch project was unique.
To my knowledge, no other national Olympic
Committee has undertaken a long-term
commitment of this kind in the run-up to the
Games.
It was inspiring to see Dutch Olympic
medallists giving workshops for days on end
to children from the favelas, mostly out of

the best out of these children and boosting

que nenhum outro ComitÃª OlÃ­mpico teve um
compromisso tÃ£o duradouro quanto o nosso

deeper understanding of the role they could
play in young peopleâ€™s lives. With this insight,
the Olympic values of friendship, respect and
excellence resonated with an entirely new
significance.
Another thing that struck me as remarkable
was that the workshops did not draw any
distinction between Olympic and Paralympic
athletes. I shall never forget the sight of
Paralympic athlete Marlou van Rhijn sitting in
front of the young athletes â€“ many of whom
still view disability as a taboo subject â€“ and
changing her prostheses for blades as if
it was the most natural thing in the world,
enabling the children to get used to the idea.
I want to compliment NOC*NSF for not
choosing the path of least resistance. Instead
atletas tambÃ©m ganharam algo: apreciaÃ§Ã£o
e satisfaÃ§Ã£o, mas tambÃ©m a consciÃªncia de
que podem fazer a diferenÃ§a na vida desses
jovens. Os valores olÃ­mpicos de amizade,
respeito e excelÃªncia ganharam um outro
significado.
TambÃ©m foi muito especial o fato de que
as oficinas nÃ£o diferenciaram entre atletas
olÃ­mpicos e paraolÃ­mpicos. Nunca vou me
esquecer como Marlou van Rhijn, que, na
presenÃ§a de jovens atletas â€“ que muitas vezes
ainda encaram a deficiÃªncia como um tabu
â€“ substituiu suas prÃ³teses regulares pelas
especiais (as blades) como se fosse a coisa
mais natural do mundo para que as crianÃ§as
se sentissem mais Ã  vontade.
Quero parabenizar o NOC*NSF por nÃ£o optar
pelo caminho mais fÃ¡cil. Ao invÃ©s de apoiar
projetos pontuais de ONGs, optaram por
uma parceria de longo prazo com o governo
municipal. Exigiu muita persistÃªncia e
dedicaÃ§Ã£o, mas como resultado contribuÃ­am
para o legado social sustentÃ¡vel.
Quero tambÃ©m agradecer a todos os
parceiros brasileiros, sem os quais esta
parceria nÃ£o seria possÃ­vel. AgradeÃ§o Ã 
Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, Ã  SecretÃ¡ria
de EducaÃ§Ã£o e sua equipe e Ã s Escolas GEO
que participaram do projeto. Estou certo de
que a iniciativa e filosofia dessas escolas

I should also like to thank all the Brazilian

whatâ€™s even more important is that winning those
medals helps us to make the world a little bit better.â€™
Gerard Dielessen / Secretary General NOC*NSF
The efforts made by NOC*NSF are rightly referred to as a
remarkable contribution to the GEO project, according to
Sarah Looise and Naomi Ruijs of Utrecht University. The two
researchers describe the chosen form of education as a key
factor in the childrenâ€™s development. The clinics given by
past and present Dutch top athletes have made an important
additional contribution.
Looise and Ruijs, research students at the department of
Management and Organisational Sciences (USBO), travelled
to Rio de Janeiro in the spring of 2015 in the wake of the
wheelchair basketball players Inge Huitzing and Irene Sloof,
visited the GEO schools, interviewed past and present pupils
at the school, and spoke to many other people involved in
the project. This resulted in a research paper entitled â€˜Een
sportieve Nederlandse bijdrage aan de GEO-scholen in Rio de
Janeiroâ€™ (â€˜A sporting Dutch contribution to the GEO schools in
Rio de Janeiroâ€™).
The top athletesâ€™ visits have an enormous impact, as the
research findings make abundantly plain. Meeting the Olympic
and Paralympic athletes in person and hearing their inspiring
stories about how they reached the top, not to mention having
an opportunity to touch an Olympic medal, made success
tangible for the pupils. At these moments the top athletes
also become role models, who can show students how to turn
their dreams into reality. Looise and Ruijs spoke to numerous
pupils, and without exception they had loved the experience
and said it really motivated them.

regularly with the Dutch athletes Elisabeth
Willeboordse and Marleen Veldhuis, mainly
through Facebook. And those pupils in
particular still see the judoka and swimmer
as role models to this day. Without such
permanent personal contacts, however, the
long-term impact on the pupils is limited.
Looise and Ruijs therefore recommend
providing clinics for a limited number of
pupils, which would make it possible to
establish more intensive contact with the
participants. One could also choose to remain
at one school for a longer period of time
instead of going to a different school every
day. Looise and Ruijs say that it is about
choosing whether to reach a large number of
58 > GEO project / friendship, respect and excellence
pupils in one go or to have a greater impact in
the longer term.
It emerges clearly from interviews with a
number of former students that they are
extremely grateful for the opportunities
that the GEO schooling has given them. An
unforgettable time, they say. Some have done
so well in their sport that they have won
scholarships to private schools, while others
are now attending mainstream state schools.
Those schools, the students say, do not
recognise the importance of sport, which they
experience as a definite loss. â€˜Sport shows
you the difference between right and wrong,
teaches you the importance of keeping to the
rules and respecting each other. I apply all
that in my everyday life,â€™ one of the pupils said
in an interview with Looise and Ruijs.

Gerard Dielessen / Diretor Geral do NOC*NSF
O esforÃ§o do NOC*NSF resultou numa
contribuiÃ§Ã£o muito especial ao projeto GEO.
Esta Ã© a conclusÃ£o de Sarah Looise e Naomi
Ruijs, da Universidade de Utrecht. Elas
descrevem esta forma de educaÃ§Ã£o como
um fator importante no desenvolvimento dos
alunos. As oficinas oferecidas pelos atletas
e ex-atletas de elite holandeses foram uma
contribuiÃ§Ã£o importante.
Estudantes da faculdade de CiÃªncias de GestÃ£o
e OrganizaÃ§Ã£o, Looise e Ruijs viajaram ao Rio
de Janeiro em maio de 2015, acompanhando
as jogadoras de basquete de cadeira de rodas
Inge Huitzing e Irene Sloof. Visitaram as
Escolas GEO, entrevistaram alunos e ex-alunos
e professores das escolas e conversaram com
diversos outras partes envolvidas. O resultado
foi um artigo de pesquisa titulado â€˜Uma
contribuiÃ§Ã£o esportiva holandesa Ã s escolas
GEO no Rio de Janeiroâ€™
A pesquisa comprova claramente o impacto
da visita das atletas de elite. Os encontros
pessoais com as atletas olÃ­mpicas, os relatos
inspiradores sobre sua trajetÃ³ria atÃ© o topo
e a oportunidade de segurar nas mÃ£os uma
medalha olÃ­mpica tornou a experiÃªncia
real para os alunos. As atletas tambÃ©m
desempenharam o papel de exemplos,
mostrando aos alunos como alcanÃ§ar seus
sonhos. Todos os alunos que tiveram contato
com Looise e Ruijs se sentiram inspirados e
motivados.
Alguns alunos ainda mantiveram contato
intenso com Elisabeth Willeboordse e Marleen
Veldhuis, especialmente por meio do
Facebook. E sÃ£o justamente esses alunos
que consideram a judoca e a nadadora como
exemplos de vida. Sem estes contatos pessoais
e duradouros, o impacto ao longo prazo na
vida dos alunos seria muito mais limitado.
Por isso, Looise e Ruijs recomendam oferecer
oficinas para grupos pequenos de alunos,
para intensificar o contato e as trocas
pessoais. Outra recomendaÃ§Ã£o seria trabalhar
em apenas uma escola por um perÃ­odo maior,
ao invÃ©s de passar cada dia numa escola
diferente. Looise e Ruijs apontam que Ã© uma
escolha entre alcanÃ§ar muitos alunos de uma
sÃ³ vez ou gerar um impacto maior no longo
prazo.
As entrevistas com alunos e ex-alunos
demonstram que eles sÃ£o gratos pelas
oportunidades que as escolas GEO lhes
proporcionaram. Dizem que foi um perÃ­odo
inesquecÃ­vel. Alguns conseguiram bolsas para
estudar em escolas particulares graÃ§as a seu
empenho esportivo, enquanto outros estudam
em escolas pÃºblicas. Os alunos explicam que,
onde estÃ£o hoje, nÃ£o valorizam a importÃ¢ncia
do esporte. Sentem isso como uma perda.
â€œO esporte mostra o que Ã© certo e errado, a
importÃ¢ncia de seguir regras e demonstrar
respeito para com os demais. Isso tudo se
aplica Ã  minha vida diÃ¡riaâ€�, Looise e Ruijs
citam de um aluno.

and its Partners in Sport visited the GEO
school in the district of Santa Teresa, Rio. To
make sure that the legacy of the GEO project
is maintained on an even firmer footing after
2016 â€“ not just for todayâ€™s GEO students, but
especially for future generations â€“ a number
of the NOC*NSFâ€™s local Partners in Sport
decided to embrace the GEO project and to
lend it their support.
The Partners in Sport are not only giving
financial support, but also contributing their
knowledge and expertise and drawing GEO
into their wider network. With this support,
the Partners in Sport have significantly
boosted the GEO project and have helped to
enhance the personal development of the
students, teachers and other staff of the GEO
schools.
The NOC*NSFâ€™s Partners in Sport
The Rabobank, EY, PON and Zilveren Kruis
are sponsoring the GEO project. NOC*NSF
is truly delighted with their contributions,
which have enabled those involved in GEO to
reach and inspire even more children from
Rioâ€™s slums. On behalf of the students at the
GEO schools, NOC*NSF wishes to express
its heartfelt gratitude to its Partners for this
support.
Em outubro de 2014, uma delegaÃ§Ã£o do
NOC*NSF e seus Parceiros no Esporte
visitaram uma escola GEO no bairro de Santa
Teresa. O motivo era enraizar ainda mais o
legado do projeto GEO apÃ³s 2016, nÃ£o apenas
para os alunos de hoje, mas tambÃ©m para as
futuras geraÃ§Ãµes do projeto GEO.
Durante aquela visita, alguns Parceiros no
Esporte do NOC*NSF decidiram abraÃ§ar e
apoiar o Projeto GEO.
AlÃ©m de contribuiÃ§Ãµes financeiras, os
Parceiros no Esporte tambÃ©m oferecem
conhecimento, expertise e sua rede de
contatos. O apoio dos Parceiros no Esporte
deu um estÃ­mulo importante ao projeto GEO
e contribuiu para o desenvolvimento pessoal
de alunos, professores e colaboradores das
escolas do projeto.
