Walk the World is the opportunity for your school to discover its local connections with the 206 Olympic and Paralympic nations that will compete at the London 2012 Games.
Walk the World is one of three major commissions from Discovering Places, the Cultural Olympiad campaign to inspire the UK to discover their local environment and delivered in partnership with the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
Whether your school is a primary or secondary, located in the city centre or the countryside, Walk the World is an easy and ideal way to take part in, and contribute to, the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
By joining this project you will:
- Discover more about the geography and history of your local area
- Investigate how your neighbourhood has been changed and influenced by connections with countries from across the world
- Become part of Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme
- Add an exciting learning opportunity to your school travel plan or Walk to School Week events
- And have the chance to submit your own information and walks about your local area
There are three different and complementary ways to join in: Find, Explore and Walk. Find out more about Walk the World.
