Urban Olympics

Aimed at young people aged between 13 and 19 years old, the Urban Olympics focus on providing the opportunity to experience alternative Olympic activities such as:

• Canoeing/Kayaking
• Mountain biking
• Archery
• Sailing

The project visits schools and youth clubs in the borough. As well as being introduced to new sports, participants also learn about the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and are told about local clubs where they can take up these sports. 

The Urban Olympics is being delivered in partnership with Children’s Services and the Outdoor Adventure Base in Tower Hamlets. It was commissioned by young people through the Youth Opportunity Fund.
