The unique event will be a space for intercultural dialog based on the high ideals of sport, the principles of openness and mutual respect.
"The event is very big, global. This is the first time it will be held in such a format in our country. Participants from all over the world will compete in 33 disciplines. We plan that there will be about six thousand participants, of which only a thousand are Russian citizens," stressed the head of the Volunteer Management Department of the ANO "World Friendship Games Organizing Committee" Renat Karimov.
Anastasia Kondrashova, Head of the Volunteer Program Department of the ANO "World Friendship Games Organizing Committee" talked about the main criteria for selecting candidates for the Games volunteer team.
Participation in the Volunteer Program of the Games is available for nonresident volunteers, as well as foreign candidates over 18 years of age, you need to have a good command of foreign languages, and, of course, have experience, and most importantly - the desire to work in a team.
"We can say that we built our careers on serious projects: in 2014 we helped in organizing the Olympic Games in Sochi, we helped with the World Hockey Championship, the World Football Championship, many European and World Championships. And now we are preparing our own major international event to be held in Russia. We will be waiting for foreign athletes to participate. And for foreign volunteers to work together. But the main thing is that the World Friendship Games will finally be held under the auspices of our country. Moscow and Yekaterinburg will be the organizing cities of this big event," said Anastasia Kondrashova.
