Cultural Olympiad
Back on 15 May, Creative Republic (who are currently funding CiB) hosted a talk from Paul Kaynes, Regional Creative Programmer for the Cultural Olympiad.
For those that don’t know, the Olympiad is not the Olympics. The Olympiad is a 4 year period of cultural activity running up to the Olympics that starts as soon as the next Games in Beijing finish.
Paul spoke in general terms about how creative people/businesses/organisations in the West Midlands could get involved. His talk was videoed and an edited-down version has just been posted on the Creative Republic site.
Props to Pete for some excellent video-embedding tomfoolery.
I was sat at the back typing notes as the talk went on – you can see them in their unedited glory at chrisunitt.co.uk.
