Tessa will be one of eight Creative Programmers across England, and will take forward plans for an inspiring Cultural Olympiad in the run up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Based within the Regional Cultural Consortium, Yorkshire Culture, she will:
* Encourage and enable arts and cultural bodies to get involved, and create opportunities for ordinary people to take part,
* Become a dynamic link between the regions and London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
* Assess whether local projects meet the criteria to become part of the Cultural Olympiad, and
* Ensure that each region’s heritage is as well represented as its 21st century technology. |
