| Follow a group of teenagers as they visit London's 2012 Olympic arena |
|
| Young people from East Hampshire were encouraged to follow their dream with an inspirational trip to the London's 2012 Olympic arena. Twenty-nine local youngsters saw the partially constructed stadium that will host the games and met two athletes that hope to compete. The trip in August 2009 could become part of a nationwide scheme run for local councils. East Hampshire District Council worked closely with Mango Events Management Ltd to develop this innovative concept and was the first to try it out. Two athletes gave the youngsters a talk on what it takes to fulfil your ambition. Sprinter Ryan Scott hopes to compete in 2012 as does Cecelia Turk, a Paralympic boccia champion, from Waterlooville. The children were also treated to a demonstration of football skills and beat boxing, and some even took part. The feedback after the event showed the children felt empowered by the day and would be taking up some form of sport. One was delighted to hear that although it is not an Olympic sport; beat boxing could be a career. |
