Bring The Power School Festival day

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games is inviting all schools across England to bring their pupils closer to the excitement of the Games, by taking part in our Bring the Power Schools Festival and creating a Bring the Power Festival Day in their setting.

Bring the Power is our Youth Engagement programme which aims to bring children and young people aged 5-25 closer to this celebration of thrilling, fast paced sport, and exhilarating culture.

To support all schools to participate, from the 18 May 2022, all schools can sign up to the Bring the Power website to access digital and downloadable resources to support them in planning their exciting day. There are separate resources for primary and secondary schools. To maximise flexibility, your activity can take place on any day that suits your setting between the 18 May and the end of the summer term. This is an opportunity for pupils and teachers to decide what ‘Bring the Power’ means for their school community and host their own events and/or whole school activities.

We recommend that the day is co-designed by your pupils and can take any form, such as an introductory assembly, sports day, creative activities, literacy, or music exploration. Youth Voice is a key focus of Bring the Power, so we recommend activity which celebrates children and young people as agents of change.

We encourage schools to incorporate this activity into any of their existing planned schools’ events, such as British Council activities, Sport England’s School Games and Sport Relief events.

By signing up to the website, teachers will have access to download the FREE Bring the Power Festival Pack with opportunities to win amazing prizes to help you and your pupils deliver an exciting day for your school community.

We look forward to receiving entries from schools across the country.
