Beijing 2022 Winter Games organizer recruits volunteers globally
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics organizer plans to recruit
27,000 volunteers for the Winter Games and 12,000 volunteers for Winter
Paralympic Games by the end of June 2021.
The plan was announced at Beijing 2022 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games Launch Ceremony for Global Recruitment of Games
Volunteers in Beijing on Thursday, December 5, which is also the 34th International
Volunteer Day.
The Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games (BOCWOG) is going to recruit volunteers for the Winter
Games and Winter Paralympic Games for 12 different types of services, including
media operations and broadcasting, human resources, technical operations and
transportation, according to a document the BOCWOG sent to the Global Times on Thursday.
The recruitment process will last one-and-a-half years, and
the recruitment system will end on June 30, 2021, the BOCWOG said.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic
Games volunteer logo was also unveiled at the ceremony, with red and yellow
representing enthusiasm and passion. The upper part of the logo is made up of
three “V” letters symbolizing volunteers, and a smiley face symbolizes
dedication, love and smile.
Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic
Committee, said volunteers are an integral part of the Olympic preparation
team. He encouraged the public to participate in the sports fest.
“As Beijing is making history as the first city in the world
to hold both the summer and the winter editions of the Olympic Games, I can
only encourage everyone to be a part of this next exciting chapter of Olympic
history. Becoming a volunteer to the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 will be
your experience of your lifetime,” said Batch on a video played at the ceremony
on Thursday.
Many Chinese celebrities, including actor Jackie Chan,
pianist Lang Lang and singer Cai Xukun, participated in the launch ceremony on
Thursday and showed their support on their official Sina Weibo accounts.
