Today Brad and I Went to 'The RELAYS' (Regional Educational Legacy for Arts and Youth Sport)project.

This project seeks to engage young people in the South West in sporting and cultural events in the run up to the London 2012 Games. Led by Universities South West, through a network of regional universities and cultural organisations, RELAYS aims to blend youth sport and cultural in a vibrant mixture of activities across the region in the build up to the 2012 Games.
It is funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity that has been set up to help build a lasting cultural and sporting legacy from the 2012 Olympic Games and HEFCE (The Higher Education Funding Council for England).


Brad and I had decided to come to see how a media event pans out. There was so much organisation involved, the children were split up into groups and revolved around different activities. This is very similar to what we are doing, so we took notes.

As Brad and I were filming, we were 'the media' so it was interesting to see what would be attractive for the media, this would give us more of an idea how to entice media to our event.

We noticed it was sometimes hard for them children to concentrate for the whole time , so we have to make sure that we create activities that are fast paced,not to ambitious and fun.

This was a really great day and really helped get us into the mindset of organising an event.
