Children and young people to celebrate Paralympic Handover
16 June 2008
A new website has launched with resources to get schools and colleges involved in celebrating Paraympic Handover on 17 September.
Children and young people are being encouraged to create special events to mark the moment the Paralympic Flag is handed over from Beijing to London.
All schools and colleges have been sent a special pack including a timeline showing the history of the Paralympic Games and a short DVD featuring UK athletes who are going to compete at the Beijing Games.
Ideas for marking the moment can be registered on the website and shared with others. Those who register by 25 June have the chance to win a Visa Trip Package to the Beijing Paralympic Games.
The most exciting and inspiring ideas will win a visit from a Paralympian, courtesy of the Team Visa mentoring programme
