I think more important that space for sports uniquely is space for education. With the measures taken to raise the tuition fees in universities what they should be asking for is a way of opening opportunities for young people (not only sports related) to expand every capacity of their creativity in every aspect of life. To not seem "lazy" we need the production of ideas, perspectives and new ways of thinking, living and managing the world that make the difference for generations to come.

@FinallyImKath We're opening up spaces all over the UK and helping young people find opportunities to learn, improve and demonstrate all sorts of skills, in sport, culture and the arts. This could include space to educate, be educated and discuss ideas, for example through a workshop or public speaking, as well as space to practice and play sports. We hope that answers your query!

Wtf is the point of this they couldnt get there point across so im supposed to open my door and let some guys free run around it and some man to skip there? Really after the olympics are finshed these guys are gonna have a shit load of new facilites in london to use! And what do you mean you need space tbf you have enough free runners can just use the streets tbf poets dont really need space the boxers have there gyms and the skipper dude well he has his gym to!

@corey199713 We're working with space-holders to open up unused space and create opportunities for young people who are unable to find the space they need. Spaces can be anything, from an empty warehouse or shop, a field, an office, or virtual spaces such as a newspaper column or space on a website.

Freerunners for example often struggle to find space they are allowed to use, and may be moved on. We work with the owners of space to give the young people access. We hope that answers your query!

Find this a little dubious. I think older people had more of a part in writing and creating this than young people themselves. >> watch?v=6sGth0a9PQU

@qet5ess Rubix, the young spoken word artists (featured in the film) wrote the voice over copy. They had previously approached somewhereto_ to find them a space to perform their work and Number 10 seemed like an ideal spot. The writing was informed by Rubix together with somewhereto_ with aims to communicate the idea behind somewhereto_ and the project's aims for the future as a legacy of the London 2010 Olympic Games. We hope that answers your query!

@PuNisherDeviLkAT We worked with Number 10 to use this space to show how somewhereto_ is creating opportunities for young people by opening up amazing spaces for them to use. The poets, freerunners and boxers in the video had previously approached somewhereto_ to find them a space to perform their work and Number 10 seemed like an ideal spot. The government had no part in writing or producing this video other than to generously provide access to the space. We hope that answers your query!
