Cultures and languages

The Olympic Games is not only about sport.
It is also about bringing people together across boarders creating understanding and thereby increase the likelyhood of peace in the world.

So how does it work when an Australian, a Canadian, an Irish and a Norwegian with different English accents meet 100 Russian English-speaking trying to share knowledge on Olympic operations? I'd say were well!

Why? It is all about attitude and willingness to share and learn.

How? You mix a mutual interest (Olympic Games), a desire to perform (thank you good collegues), good planning (thank you to Yulia and Jacqui in particular), good sense of humor (thank you, Russians!) dash it with music and video ingredients from previous Games (thank you IOC) and pick everyone's brain on knowledge and not at least have many dialogues (thank you to all!).

Off we go to a new adventures day in this international landscape!
