The "Paris 2024 ' opens its doors to the general public

Paris 2024 says it will launch the largest ever public engagement initiative in Olympic bid history with the purpose of tapping into the creative ideas and innovative thinking of the French people to help ensure bid plans touch and resonate with the entire nation. The initiative is being led by Paris 2024, the State Government, the Ile-de-France region, the City of Paris and the National Olympic and Paralympic Committees. According to Paris 2024, the initiative will create real open dialogue with the French public, allowing them to make contributions to the bid as the project evolves and develops.

Three primary ways the public can submit ideas and engage with the bid is through in-person public engagement meetings, an online platform, and an engagement kit which will be available for download via the bid website at http://concertation.paris2024.orghttp://concertation.paris2024.org. All ideas will be published on an online platform where the French public can engage with the bid, provide feedback and vote on the proposals. Once the process has ended on September 30, 2016, the top 100 ideas will be analyzed and considered for inclusion in the Paris 2024 bid.
