Relays
What is RELAYS?
As Great Britain looks forward in anticipation to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, RELAYS will engage with and inspire young people and their communities in the South West. Through an exciting range of festivals, events and school-based activities, RELAYS aims to raise aspirations by delivering an innovative and stimulating programme.
Young people can get involved in a whole host of events running throughout the region up to, including and beyond 2012. RELAYS events incorporate an eclectic mixture of sport and cultural elements, ranging from film projects, competitions and festivals, to music and dance festivals and school sports events.
Young people from across the region's higher education institutions and communities will be encouraged to volunteer and get involved with the planning and running of RELAYS events. They will be given the opportunity to call the events their own thereby making a positive impact on their communities.
Activity will also run at schools and universities through the Community Classrooms hub-clubs. Students will get the opportunity to train as coaches and mentors, and children to benefit from their expertise and support through workshops and skills development activities.
RELAYS will also engage with businesses, encouraging organisations from across the South West to get involved with 2012 activity in the South West and benefit from networking events and professional development opportunities. South West businesses will also get the opportunity to engage with experts at the region's universities.
