Students | Podium

Seb Coe (LOCOG Chairman) is a huge advocate of student engagement:

"The vision we took to Singapore* couldn’t have been clearer, and that was to put young people at the heart of the Games."
*where London won the bid to host the 2012 Games

The Student pages are about continuing the inspiration; sharing ideas and experiences (through stories, images and videos); promoting upcoming events and communicating students’ excitement with the London 2012 Games.
