Olympic Legacy, Global Citizenship and Community Cohesion event Information 200 KB
Background Information
The Olympic movement recognises the value of sport as a tool for social development and there is much good work in the UK and across the world.
Yet messages about legacy often seem confused and misunderstood.
What should ‘legacy’ look like with regards education, health, social & civic order and the environment?
What legacy do we want to experience locally, nationally and globally?
The summit will recognise the progress being made to date across all 5 continents and embrace the role that future global citizens can play in realising a vision. The summit will be introduced and facilitated by Geoff Thompson MBE and staff from Roehampton University, the Youth Charter, and The Muhammad Ali Institute, Louisville.
Young people will share ideas with sports leaders, community partners, and academics and we will together produce a summit declaration that will provide a clear and strong contribution to the legacy potential that London 2012 and other major games can have on social and human development of young people and communities globally.
The event is free to attend and we expect demand to be high, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
