We’ve shown you some of the groups, organizations and events that have been taking place in Tokyo to support the 2016 Olympic games bid. One of my personal favorites is a group of students who started their campaign way back in 2006. Committed? I think so!

Calling themselves The Student Association for the 2016 Tokyo Olympics, they have been working hard in a variety of ways to bring the games to Tokyo. Here are some of the things they’ve been doing:
- Hosting and organizing symposium events
- Gathering signatures of support and getting feedback via questionnaires
- Holding activities to spread the word about the Olympic bid
The opening symposium announcing their support was held in February 2006 which has been followed by a number of events which you can read about on their Tokyo Olympics events history page.
Check out their graffiti webtile board at the bottom of the homepage. A very neat way of showing all the people who have pledged their support for the bid. Great work!
