About This Course

This course gives you complete knowledge of the communication and management techniques that are put into practice in the creation of the most important sporting event in the world.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn the keys to the production and television production of the Games, their programming and the management strategy of the audiovisual rights of the Olympic Games. At the same time, you will gain valuable insights into the foundations of communication in social networks and Olympic culture, which is closely connected with classical culture and humanism. The Olympic Games are a precise reflector of modern advanced societies considered as a whole. Many of the strategies and trends we address in this course can be applied to fields other than the world of sports.
