At the end of last week, the Culture, Ceremonies and Education Team set off on an adventure to Eton Dorney for their first Team Strategy Away Day.
Not only was this a useful day for introducing those members of the team that hadn’t yet met (!), but it also gave us the opportunity to update each other on recent progress and planning for the Culture, Ceremonies and Education Programmes, away from the frantic pace of Canary Wharf.
During the day, we rattled through our current plans for the Cultural Olympiad, our Ceremonies Programme – and in particular, the Beijing Handover Ceremonies (just 17 months away…and counting!) and the Torch Relays, plans for the Olympic Park and the Education Programme.
This is not to say all our planning is done – far from it – but it was an extremely helpful opportunity to sit down as a whole team and to set next steps and priorities for the coming months.
