  12. So, what is ‘Inspire’? ‘Inspire’ officially recognises all those non-commercial projects and events inspired by the Games coming to the UK. This is about innovative projects that have been inspired by the 2012 Games. Projects that are about excellence, personal best and participation. ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’ is one such event!

This is an official programme of the London Olympic and Paralympic Games • This is a joint initiative between Middlesex University, Hendon School and Aseema (a school for underprivileged children in Mumbai, India) • The children from India are also taking pictures, although they will not be part of the competition. • All photographs entered will be uploaded to the eyes of a child website • A selection of photographs will be printed and framed and be part of a photograph exhibition: ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’

  14. Project brief The Olympic and Paralympic values are: • Respect (Olympic)   • Excellence (Olympic) • Friendship (Olympic) • Courage (Paralympic) • Determination (Paralympic) • Inspiration (Paralympic) • Equality (Paralympic)

  15. Project brief • All of these values relate to the Games and can be seen in a sporting context.
