00:04 Tell the value of the great sporting events in the process of European integration through the voice of institutions, the sports world and young people.
00:13 It is the mission of the debate "Sport unites Europe", promoted by the Euro-Roma Foundation 2024, which organizes the next European Light Athletics Championships,
00:23 in collaboration with the European Commission and the Office of the European Parliament in Italy.
00:29 Among the illustrious personalities of the sector present at the initiative, also the CEO of the Euro-Roma Foundation 2024, Paolo Carito,
00:37 and the Italian athlete, Andrew Howe, who took part in the preparation to be able to participate in the next European Light Athletics Championships scheduled for June 2024.
00:46 To ensure a better arrival to the European Day Zero and Day One, the advancement of work continues at a speedy pace.
00:54 The work inside the stadium is in progress, the promotion campaign for the sale of tickets is in progress,
01:01 we are arranging the latest details in coordination with the European Federation,
01:07 and then we will make the final rush of the last six months of approach to the event from all points of view.
01:14 It was 1990 when Carito proposed himself as a volunteer for the organization of the Europeans,
01:20 and today, who is in charge of the work, he tells in view of June 2024 how the program that puts the youths in the center continues.
01:27 The volunteer program is proceeding very well, there are more than a thousand, but much more than a thousand,
01:33 the applications so far have not been closed, so going to our site to the volunteer section,
01:40 so www.roma2024.eu, it will still be possible to participate in the selections.
01:46 The athlete Andrew Howe, on the other hand, speaks of the difference in the type of environment that creates Rome in a European than a Golden Gala.
01:54 The power that the Roman public has towards any sport that is done at the Olympics is definitely different from any other stadium in the world,
02:10 so it will be interesting how the unaccustomed will react to the situation,
02:16 in particular, maybe, I don't know, people who have never been inside the Olympic Stadium,
02:23 completely full, with 60-80 thousand people screaming, at the same time cheering you on and everything,
02:30 it's a feeling, I think, I don't know, indescribable.
