The Legacy Youth Panel is a dedicated group of young people aged between 13 - 21 years old from the five Olympic host boroughs who generously give up their time to input constructively into the long term planning and urban design of their area.
Since its launch in October 2008 the Panel has submitted a formal response to the planning documents, created a Soundscape, with musician Jon Owen, to accompany the flythrough of the proposed developments and have written a Manifesto to share their vision for the development of communities and the built environment following the Olympic Games. The Panel has presented their Manifesto to Ministers of Parliament and the Chief Executive of the Olympic Park Legacy Company.
In July 2009 the Panel hosted an Event for other young people at the Ocean in Hackney providing a glimpse of the future with a mix of video and sounds onto a 3D model of a whole new city by the Light Surgeons. This years Event Our Time was held on Friday 2nd July at the LIFT in Canning Town and and gave Panel members a platform to present this years findings through drama and dance.
