More about the programme
EMPowered is an East Midlands legacy project for young people. It matches the Olympic and Paralympic Values to the seven events of the women’s Heptathlon. Having read about a set of athletes, each term young people are invited to submit a discursive or creative response exploring the Olympic and Paralympic Values. Each term there is a prize for the best submission from a primary school student and a secondary school student.
The current focus of the competition is inspiration and the high jump. Young people can submit their entries from 1 October.
Who is it for?
