Coe rejects London Games cynics
Published: 10 July, 2008
Lord Coe says the London Olympic games will leave a positive educational legacy by "changing attitudes" among young people. The chairman of the 2012 organising committee rejected the stereotyping of young people as "hoodies". The London games will have an accompanying schools programme, based on Olympic themes and values. Introducing the 2012 plans for education, Lord Coe argued that the games would provide a way of "opening doors" for young people. But he says that in his own experience he had seen the way that sport could help young people, giving them role models and sense of self-esteem. Related articles:
