School Children to Participate in 2012 London Olympics Ceremonies

Selection of under 16s Volunteer Performer cast for the Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies will be done from the schools in six east London Host Boroughs by London 2012 Organising Committee, LOCOG. In the official London 2012, Get Set Education programme, all 18 primary and seven secondary schools have been involved in the audition process. The curriculum is also included in the Olympic and paralympic values.

Children aged 7-9 years and 11-13 years are involved in the audition process for the London 2012 Olympic Opening. For the London 2012 Ceremonies Mass Movement Team, approximately 1650 children have been auditioned which will include choreography as well as dance routines.

Seb Coe, LOCOG Chair said, “Being part of the Ceremonies is a great way of inspiring young people, I’m delighted schoolchildren from the Host Boroughs will be part of our show and help tell our story to the world. The students involved will have an incredible experience which will build their confidence and a sense of pride in themselves, their friends, family, school and wider community.”
