  1. About Us What lasting educational benefits can be created by mega events? Winter Olympics Summer Olympics Commonwealth Games Other Events FIFA World Cups

  2. About us • CfBT – One of the world’s largest Education Trusts, CfBT provide education for public benefit in the UK and internationally. We support educational reform, teach, advise, research and train • Skyblue – An innovative research, evaluation and creative organisation offering solutions to a variety of different challenges, with extensive experience in the skills and education sectors.

  3. The Project We noticed that while legacy planning for mega events is an increasingly major part of the process, explicit planning of an education legacy is rarely part of strategic thinking. We believe that mega events can catalyse and inspire innovative projects which have lasting education benefits, and we hope through this project to bring those benefits to the forefront of current thinking.
