We are thrilled to announce our team of #citizencurators. They will be recording their life in London during the Olympics through twitter.
We had applications from all across London and from all sorts of Londoners – and we decided that 12 was too few to choose. The tweeters we invited to join us as our #citizencurators come from North, West and South London as well as ones who are living and working right in the Games Zone.
But anyone can be a tweeter for #citizencurators. Just tweet whenever you think there is something you want to share and comment on during the Olympic fortnight. Please join us if you want to by using the #citizencurators hashtag. Or to ask us more please tweet us @citizencurators.
Let’s meet our #citizencurators:

The Olympics seem to have taken over Londoner’s lives whether we like it or not. #citizencurators is a fantastic opportunity to give some ordinary residents of this city a voice during the games, and to have that voice recorded. Bloody genius! Count me in!
