London 2012 blog

The London 2012 Education briefing last Thursday was an amazing experience to be involved in, not least from an artwork perspective. It was great to see how things developed from our initial meeting with the Education team at London 2012 through to the actual day. 
The presentation of the artwork looked fantastic. And hearing the speakers deliver their presentations was very insightful - particularly the Youth Ambassador, Jasmine Scott who at 17 can certainly entrance a room and capture her audience. She did a fantastic job and I wondered, as I stood listening, if maybe one day she'll be Prime Minister!!
The buzz of discussion and ideas which permeated the room was delightful to witness and I certainly left feeling inspired for what is going to develop within schools, colleges and universities. There will undoubtedly be a knock-on effect as the students the Education Programme reaches enter society.  Imagine it - a city of inspired youth.
