The adventures through the Sea of ​​Detours, the Agora of Ludócrates and the School of Neoquijote lead them to understand the evils that affect today's sports Games and universal ethical principles. The final message recovers the importance of following our DREAMS, of RESPECT, FRIENDSHIP and EXCELLENCE in the Olympic journeys.
