Description / Requirements
You will be required to form groups of 4 around the first seminar in the trimester. Once groups have formed, they will be form an organizing committee for a host city, randomly assigned, with the potential to host the next Winter Olympic Games (after Beijing 2022). Groups will be required to submit a bid document for the Olympic Winter Games in 2026 to the International Olympic Committee (i.e., the teaching team).
The first part of the assessment requires students, in their groups, to present a (slightly modified) Olympic bid document. The document should contain much of what is in a real-life Olympic bid document would have including (but not limited to): the mission of the Games in the host city, the organizing committee's vision and values, feasibility of the Games (discussing the social, economic, environmental, and political implications of the Games), marketing and branding, budgets, as well the technical operations of the event (e.g., venue management, risk management, transportation). Groups may conceive and organize their bid file into two main parts: administration and technical operations.
• Administration (Ex. Budget, venues for sport disciplines, city/market demographics, promotional plan, sponsorship, signage, etc.)
• Technical Operations (Ex. Transportation, risk management, floor plan, permits, schedule, washrooms/refuse, etc.)
It is critical that your bid document contain scholarly research! You are telling the event owner (i.e., IOC) a logical, intriguing story, but the feasibility and other choices contained in the bid should be informed and justified using (peer-reviewed) research.
• The technical operations section of the bid may not contain as many research citations (relative to the administrative section), but should still be linked to quality sources when appropriate (e.g., suggesting more security in the main stadium parking lot because Schwarz et al. (2017) indicated this is a proactive crowd control strategy).
You should also take time and care to proofread their work and ensure proper English grammar and spelling is followed. All research and supporting claims should be referenced using the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition referencing guidelines.
