It's a very busy week in Beijing as the countdown clock to next year's Olympic games reaches 365 days. IOC president Jacque Rogge is in the capital to be part of celebrations for the start of the one-year countdown.

On Monday he visited an Olympic education model school in downtown Beijing. He watched the students sports show at the School Olympic Education Exhibition and attended the launching ceremony of the Heart-to-heart Partnership Program between Beijing No.4 High School and Psychico College Lykeion from Greece.

Rogge addressed the ceremony and congratulated the Chinese organizers on launching their Olympic education programme, which he described as an important cultural legacy of the 2008 Olympic Games.
