The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are not just about sport.
They will also celebrate cultures, people and languages – in London, the UK and around the world.
Cultural activities and education will combine with sport for an unforgettable experience and lasting change. The Handover Ceremonies taking place in Beijing and celebrated across the UK will be an important part of these activities this year.
We have taken a deliberately broad and inclusive definition of culture, representing the breadth of London’s and the UK’s expertise and world standing.
