2008年奧運會於北京所舉行，這可以是一個促進國際理解與多元文化交流的最佳時機。本文提出二項任務。第一項任務，是從全球性的角度來論證奧林匹克主義(Olympism)的普世性與奧林匹克活動在中國的重要性。因此，有關和諧與世界和平及世界公民的相關概念也將在此一部分做一釐清。第二項任務，是透過奧運會在中國的舉行來尋求促進多元文化交流的可能性。在本文中提出以下幾項建議：包括從全世界各地來徵召運動志工，特別是從敏感地區。進一步的建議是，在主辦國內提昇國際語言的實際使用空間、事先提供可幫助各國代表瞭解中國文化的課程與教材、以及協助設立各國文化活動之空間，以俾來自全世界各國之參與者（包括主辦國人民）皆能分享此一獨特與豐富的多元文化體驗。

The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. This can be the best timing to promote international understanding and for multicultural exchanges. This paper presents two tasks. The first task is to justify Olympism from a global perspective and the importance of the Olympic Movement in China. Hence, the concept of harmony with respect to world peace and world citizenship will also be clarified. The second task is to seek possibilities for promoting multicultural interaction through the Olympic Games in China. A few initiatives are proposed in this paper, including the recruitment of volunteers from all over the world, especially from sensitive regions. Further suggestions are increasing the international language capacity in the hosting country, helping delegations with introduction courses in advance by providing informative materials, and finally to help setting up cultural houses so that participants from all over the world (including the hosting country) can all share unique and fruitful multicultural experiences.
