An educational programme called Imagine Peace, as part of the Olympic Truce and the up-coming 2012 Summer Olympics in London, was established by the British Council in cooperation with the International Olympic Truce Centre and schools in Athens. On May 10-17, during the Olympic Torch Relay which will be transporting the Olympic Flame from Ancient Olympia to the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, the programme will be extended to schools in towns on the torch relay itinerary, including games and activities with specialised British Council teachers and Greek Olympic champions. 

Presenting the Imagine Peace programme on March 28, British Ambassador to Athens Dr. David Landsman stressed that its core message was that children could transmit the spirit of Olympic Truce through dialogue and respect for differences. The Olympic Truce Centre has also set up a dedicated website Post for Peace where everybody can post messages, pictures photos and videos supporting peace and sport, to win prizes.
