What is the official motto of the Paralympic movement?

The official motto of the Paralympic movement is “Spirit in Motion.”

The motto expresses the energy, determination, and achievement associated with Paralympic athletes. It is used in official Paralympic branding and is distinct from the Olympic motto, “Citius, Altius, Fortius—Communiter,” meaning “Faster, Higher, Stronger—Together.”

“Spirit in Motion” was adopted in the early twenty-first century as part of the Paralympic movement’s visual and institutional identity. It should not be confused with the Paralympic symbol, the Agitos, which consists of three flowing shapes.

The motto is a phrase rather than the name of an event, organization, or symbol. The International Paralympic Committee governs the movement and uses the motto in connection with its global sporting mission.
