What London 2012 Means to Us
The theme for Newham
Heritage Month 2022 will be What London 2012 Means to Us. The mark the
10-year anniversary of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we want to
hear your idea for a project that will research the impact, both good and bad,
of this incredible moment in our heritage, as well as other stories that
were unearthed in the build up to 2012.
Your project could be inspired by anything related to the theme, from
the centuries-old discoveries found during the archaeological digs
before the Games, to Newham's long association with community activism.
