London 2012 blog

My relationship with the whole London 2012 project started before London won the Games - we were helping Neil (in LOCOG’s Community relations team) get in touch with Chinese community, getting support for the bid. Since then, I have sat on the London 2012 Forum, discussing issues with people from all the various communities in London.

The beauty for us of course is that this year the Games are in China, in Beijing, which gives a bit of extra flavour in our relationship with LOCOG: we have an even greater opportunity to build the relationship and share ideas and information - as we did yesterday. We were asked if we could help raise Chinese cultural awareness among London 2012 staff - especially for those who are going to Beijing programmes to get first-hand Games experience.

We were of course delighted to help and yesterday saw it all come together, in an informal (yet hopefully informative) education day.
