Hip hop and street dance group QMX - Quantum Matrix Academy of Excellence - demonstrate their skills and then Director Joseph Hall takes volunteers through a quick class, teaching the routine and then encouraging freestyle. I wish I'd been up there with them. I spoke to him afterwards and he'd like the group to continue to be part of the Cultural Olympiad. Here's hoping for an Inspire mark application from him soon.

One8 itself is one of the first projects to be awarded the Inspire mark. It's led by Renaissance East Midlands and Nottingham City Museums and builds on work begun last year with young people designing and delivering the festival. It was an excellent example of what our Cultural Olympiad is all about: new partnerships, new experiences, sport, culture, science and young people right at the heart of it.

Roll on next year!
