Ateliers AME X Olympic Games
In 1887, a speech by Jules Simon, former French Prime Minister, introduced the concept on which Coubterin's philosophy of the modern Olympic Games would be based. Through the lens of improving education experiences for French children, Simon was an early adopter of the idea of sport as a human right, which he articulated as “play.” More than 40 years after Simon's speech, Coubertine would put this into his own words Simon’s sentiment, forming the values of the Olympic Games and the Ateliers AME collection inspired by it.
