Haai! Les Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse se rapprochent: encore 57 jours avant la cérémonie d’ouverture…et on y est presque prêt ! La température s’augmente… Tout le monde est dans les « starting blocs » ! Et…je suis surtout curieuse de rencontrer toute notre délégation belge. Dans les mois précédents, j’ai évidemment déjà rencontré nos jeunes « online » et vu les différents blogs je vois que tout le monde est prêt de s’y mettre !
What have I been doing this week? Well, besides making “rumors” around the Youth Olympic Games among youth, I’ve –together with all my sweet colleagues- been working on my texts for the “Olympic Guide” and the next –third- edition of the Singapore News. We’ve also revealed the winners of our second competition on Facebook. Within 2 weeks, we will give a presentation to all our athletes, coaches and parents in the Planetarium. I get the opportunity to talk about the Culture & Education Program and to make people warm to participate. But, with a program as such, that will be a “piece of cake ”. I’m looking forward to meet the whole team! Within 15 days, the delegation will also receive the official equipments of Adidas. Next week, we start organizing the TrainingCamp which will take place in Ghent. We’ll organize teambuilding activities and we’ll launch the Belgian Junior Olympic Team to the press.
I'm so happy to work with an amazing team, Loubna is doing a GREAT job in the administrative follow-up of all documents and Gert, our Chef de Mission, is giving everyday the best of himself to help us out. And luc, our communication man is day and night working on texts:-) BUT...such an event demands the collaboration of all colleagues. Via this way and I won't mention names because I'll forget lots of them, thank you for your support!!!
