The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are about more than just sport. They help to bring people together to celebrate different cultures and ways of life. With singing, dancing, making and displaying and encouraging an appreciation of heritage, the Cultural Olympiad is happening - now - all over the UK, helping people take part in London 2012 wherever they live or whatever they’re into. Southampton is playing its part in the Cultural Olympiad too, by organising and helping local people to put on events that offer something for everyone. Look through this brochure to find out how you can be part of the celebrations in Southampton.

Remember, this is just one stop on the journey to London 2012. If you have any ideas that you would like to develop with us into possible projects for the Cultural Olympiad please contact steve.hill@southampton.gov.uk

SHAPe is for groups and individuals: anyone involved in a cultural activity, whether educational, voluntary, professional, self-employed or otherwise, is welcome to join. For more information on SHAPe see www.southampton-partnership.com/partners/SHAPe or contact steve.hill@southampton.gov.uk 023 8083 2810.

Thursday 23rd October 2008 1-9pm
Presentations: 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Are you a community worker or a member of a Southampton-based community group or charity?

Would you like to use creative community arts projects to develop your work?

Would you like to gain digital photography skills?

You may know the work of The Media Workshop, or it may have been some time since you were last involved (we’ve been going for 30 years!).

You may have been on one of our courses, or been a member of our Open Access making use of our digital and traditional photography facilities. But you may not know about our project work, or even heard of us at all!

The Media Workshop offers a broad range of creative services with many free and low cost points of access. We also undertake small to large scale fee-based projects.

With this in mind, The Media Workshop is having an Open Day on Thursday 23rd October 2008. There are two opportunities to see a presentation of what we have to offer 4 p.m. and 7 p.m, and how we work with the Southampton voluntary sector. Afterwards you can talk with Workshop staff and members over tea and biscuits.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Media Workshop.

The Media Workshop needs your help. Please fill in our Southampton Voluntary Sector Questionnaire and you’ll be entered in a prize draw to win a three panel promotional display for your organisation or charity. Just like the one we did for Kelly from Unity101 FM.

The deadline for responses is 31/07/2008 the draw for the free 3 panel display will take place on 16/08/2008 and the winner will be contacted shortly after.

So what are you waiting for! Fill in our Southampton Voluntary Sector Questionnaire today.

SORRY deadline for the prize draw has now gone.
