Hosting the Olympic Games is every candidate city's wish. This major project puts the host country under the spotlights. Success is assured by the infrastructures which are for the most part already existing, however, for this project to properly work its has to involve all of the territory's partners.The Paris 2024 bidding committee wants to define exactly what these games will mean and how they will be used on a small and bigger scale (Paris, Ile-de-France, France) and it will be done in consultation with the French population. A platform has been set up for this consultation. It must allow anyone who wants to, to participate in the deliberations carried out by the paris 2024 Committee when developing the Candidacy project. Also, several debates will be organised around economic and environmental matters. These are not just the Paris Games, they are also YOUR Games! Each opinion is a step towards making sure that the Games are lasting, exemplary and shared among the entire society.
