Energise this contest!

The British Embassy is bringing the Olympic spirit closer to Bucharest with a competition inspired by the success story of the Olympic Park in London.

Stretching

over 4 weeks, 15 February-15 March, the competition invites students

and young professional in architecture to come up with solutions to

“re-energise” the area around the National Stadium Lia Manoliu, in

Bucharest district 2. The winner will be awarded a trip to London,

including a visit to the Olympic Park and meetings with British

businesses at the cutting edge of urban regeneration.

So follow our website for a full description of the competition guidelines and spread the Olympic news around!

The largest urban

regeneration project in Europe to date, the Olympic Park is a brilliant example

of how engineering, architecture, public administration and businesses

can come together for the benefit of the community!

I joined the British Embassy in 2004, and have ever since
enjoyed one of the most diverse and challenging jobs as a professional
communicator, from partnering up with MTV Romania to promote the UN
anti-poverty agenda to handling Prince Charles’ press conference on a
hill top in picturesque Transylvania. One of the highlights working for
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been the introduction of an
internship scheme in the Embassy; we bring along students from various
backgrounds to help us deliver our objectives while they get a unique
opportunity to learn hands-on about diplomacy.
I am a former TV journalist, specialising in foreign affairs, and a
Fulbright scholar. I hold a Master of Arts in Information and
Communication Studies with California State University at Chico.
I am a major cafe latte fan and like to collect hand-painted icons.
My other hobbies include travelling and watching movies with friends,
particularly Quentin Tarantino’s. The latest memorable film I watched
was District 9, a superb science fiction with a social twist – anybody
seen it?
