The most relevant matters of the organization of the Mediterranean Games 2018, in Tarragona and 15 other municipalities, were addressed in the round table. Some of those topics were the sports calendar, the cultural and educative program, the legacy and the fundamental role of the volunteers.The president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, reiterated his confidence in the Tarragona Games emphasising that they

will be “the best games ever”, and that the participation of the athletes will be “numerous and relevant, with leading athletes”.On his behalf, the president of the Organising Committee, Josep Fèlix Ballesteros, underlined the institutional, political and territorial unity that exists to guarantee the success of Tarragona 2018, as Games of “peace, harmony and intercultural and religious dialogue”.

stages of the recruitment of specialized volunteers. Reason why during the past month a series of specific recruitments were carried out to increase the Games´ volunteers.

Specialists from the Volunteers´ Department visited the Official School of Languages in both Tarragona and Reus. They carried out a basic training focused on the average student profile in those learning centres; people with the ability to speak various languages, who are the skills we need for our upcoming event.

At the Institut Tapiró of Reus, around a hundred students of the Sports Advanced Degree were gathered to attend a conference focused on their skills. These were students majoring in Sport, which could become a great Volunteer profile to support competition in the various sports and venues.

LA SELVA DEL CAMP HOSTED ITS ENTITY FAIR WITH REPRESENTATION OF TARRAGONA 2018About 1,000 people were fully involved in the Entity Fair of La Selva del Camp. A very important event for this small town, which is one of the municipalities hosting a competition venue (Fencing). The Games were well represented and welcomed by many Fair visitors.

ALTAFULLA PROUDLY DISPLAYS A MEDITERRANEAN GAMES GRAFFITIThe graphic artist Orion Leim has made a big mural painting in Altafulla, exclusively about the Mediterranean Games Tarragona 2018, displaying the mascot Tarracvs and triathlon images since this town will host this competition. Altafulla is getting ready for the Games!

TORREDEMBARRA AND TARRACVS VIBRATE AT THE SPORTS PARTY

Torredembarra celebrated the Sports´ Party again this year, giving the Mediterranean Games Tarragona 2018 again a relevant presence. The mascot Tarracvs, one of the icons of the Games, couldn’t miss this day

full of planned sport activities, mostly for the little ones. Boys and girls welcomed its presence with pictures and hugs, proving once again, that Tarracvs is one of the most wanted figures at the sport events which take place all over the territory.

Tarracu´s visit to Altafulla to a school organized race, gathering lots of kids between 4 and 15 years old, was also a very special event.
