INVICTUS GAMES 2017<br />
Named after William Ernest Henley’s famous<br />
poem Invictus, the Invictus Games celebrate<br />
sport’s power to help servicemen and women<br />
physically, psychologically, and socially. <strong>The</strong><br />
inaugural Invictus Games presented by <strong>Jaguar</strong><br />
Land Rover were hosted in London in 2014 after<br />
HRH Prince Harry, inspired by the Warrior Games<br />
in the USA, saw how sport and physical activities<br />
can help speed up recovery, support rehabilitation<br />
and generate wider understanding and respect.<br />
<strong>Jaguar</strong> Land Rover continued its partnership of<br />
the Games in 2016 in Orlando and will now return<br />
as the presenting partner for the third time as<br />
the games are held this year in Toronto, Canada,<br />
from September 23rd - 30th. This year, the<br />
Games will see over 550 military athletes<br />
from 17 nations compete in 12 sporting events,<br />
including the <strong>Jaguar</strong> Land Rover Driving<br />
Challenge, as they are cheered on by thousands<br />
of spectators and more than 1,500 volunteers.<br />

ART BIENNALE<br />
Returning for its seventh year, Beijing’s<br />
International Art Biennale is the official<br />
Chinese biennale for international<br />
contemporary art, featuring works from<br />
up to 100 different countries. A riotous<br />
display of culture, the 2017 Biennale<br />
takes inspiration from the Silk Road<br />
for this year’s theme and will see<br />
painters and sculptors from around the<br />
globe bring their works to display at<br />
Beijing’s National Art Museum in the<br />
Chinese capital.<br />
