The video below is an official ad / advert / advertisement , to be more precise it is a campaign for the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. This document helped you understand how people could be united around a same universal passion: sport. Sport is a common centre of interest which brings people from different countries, religions and social backgrounds together, in spite of / despite the possible political conflicts there can be between nations.

As an annex document you can download the worksheet we used in class to analyse and understand the video.

The document you will find attached gathers the short sport biographies of the four paralympic champions we studied in class - Trischa Zorn, Chantal Petitclerc, Natalie Dutoit and Lee Pearson.

You can also download the grid you had to fill in in class to recap the information collected about these four athletes. 

Working on this particular aspect showed that sport can integrate people who might feel put aside.
