Accentuate

The programme will allow young people to develop key business skills, explore their entrepreneurial energies, and appreciate the value of international collaboration in a world-class business environment.

Realise! will create a legacy of improved representation and opportunities for young disabled people in business and enterprise.

This project is being delivered by Creative Junction and is a distinct Accentuate project but is also part of another initiative called Create, Compete and Collaborate (CCC). This is a groundbreaking ambition, which aims to ensure that:

‘Every young person in the South East has the opportunity to participate in a project with another young person from a competitor country between now and 2012.’

CCC will use the inspiration of the 2012 London Games to increase the opportunities for every young person in the region to engage with their peers, internationally, and leave a legacy of young people with broadened horizons, new skills, and enhanced global awareness and connectedness.

The initiative seeks to promote the Olympic values of ‘excellence, respect and friendship’, to broaden the international outlook of young people in the region and to encourage in their development the qualities of openness, understanding, enquiry, equality and cooperation.
