    The IPC works with the games organising committee to provide information and direction on how the committee can develop its own education programme in conjunction with the message and values of the IPC to ensure impact and is linked in to the overall Games legacy.

    The IPC has regular communications with the organising committees of upcoming Paralympic Games to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and ensure the creation of high-quality programmes.
