I have been assigned to the International Media Team in the Main Press Centre located in Alpensia.
We help staff the News Desk, answering questions the media have about the Games and monitoring what the international press is reporting.
Our functional area manager (FA) also told us that once the Olympics started, there were fewer requests as the reporters were all out “chasing athletes,” so the volunteers didn’t have much to do.
For the Paralympics, they are trying to coordinate outings with school groups to some of the events, including attending medal/victory ceremonies. This is in an effort to promote sport to the younger generations. The outings will likely start the second week of the Games. We are also being sent to some of the events to attend and post to our social media accounts.
