Eva-Maria Sanchez
1. To the Testimonies project I’m bringing over three years of experience working as a marketing and communications professional, which together with my bilingual skills should help this project to gain extensive coverage in Spain and the UK.
2. From being involved in the Testimonies I have widened my understanding of the Olympic Games as a massive international celebration. Also, I have come to the conclusion that by letting people know about this project it encourages a debate about the Olympic Games that is meant to leave a longer lasting impression in people’s memory.
