Director of Impact and Legacy for the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024

26 September 2024, at Fouquet’s Paris

With over seven years of dedication to shaping a lasting legacy, Marie Barsacq has been at the forefront of leveraging the Olympic Games as a catalyst for positive social change.

Marie Barsacq’s role goes beyond the two weeks of competition; she is focused on ensuring that the Olympic spirit endures through increased physical activity, social inclusion, and community engagement across France. Her work emphasizes the immediate and long-term impacts, particularly through initiatives like the “Generation 2024” program, which aims to mobilize 10,000 young volunteers annually in civic service roles related to sport.

At our event, we will explore the legacy of the Paris 2024 Games. How will the initiatives launched during this period continue to influence health, education, and social cohesion long after the closing ceremony? What lessons can be drawn from this ambitious project, and how will it shape future global sporting events? This moment together will offer the opportunity to reflect on the enduring influence of the Olympic Games and the strategic efforts led by Marie Barsacq to ensure that Paris 2024 leaves a legacy of lasting impact.
