The Cultural Olympiad in Wales

The Olympic and Paralympic Games were secured for London on the basis that the whole of the UK would be involved in a celebration of culture during the four years between the Beijing Handover in August 2008 and the London Games in 2012. This four-year celebration is the Cultural Olympiad.

Culture and sports have, in the past, been extremely closely associated with the Olympics and in fact during the last UK Games in 1948 medals were being awarded for the arts as well as for sports.

A busy programme of events is being developed throughout Wales over the next four years. These projects and activities will culminate in 2012 and which will, it is hoped, grow to involve as many of the young people of Wales as possible.
