Inspiring Brent: Exploring the Paralympics, Inspiring Communities
November - March 2010
The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will provide a catalyst to improve sports participation and physical activity across the borough, celebrate Brent's rich cultural heritage and develop volunteering skills and opportunities for businesses; all of which will help to achieve our corporate strategy aims and secure a legacy.
Inspiring Brent is Brent Council's programme for the London 2012 Games and is supported by an action plan. A priority of this plan is to raise the profile of the Paralympic Games and provide opportunities for disabled communities to get involved in and be part of the Games experience.
The aim of the project is:
* To provide a platform for disabled groups to express their thoughts and feelings about the London 2012 Games through the medium of film
* Explore and record attitudes towards disability sports in the borough and across London
* Promote the Paralympics and the values of equality, inspiration, courage and determination
* Engage the disabled community in the excitement of the London 2012 Games
* Raise the profile of Brent's role in the London 2012 Games and celebrate our Olympic heritage
* Produce a short film to be accessioned into Brent Archives where it will be made available to the public.
By targeting this group, the project aims to give a voice to a demographic which is generally under-represented in museum and archive collections and record their unique views of the impact of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and make them accessible to the wider public.
