Looking back at the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023
40 employees of the S.OLIVER GROUP were in the middle of the action as volunteers.
The Special Olympics World Games 2023 are over, the medals have been awarded. A total of 6,500 athletes competed in 26 disciplines, 18,000 volunteers were on duty, and 3,000 coaches and support staff were on site. And 40 employees of the S.OLIVER GROUP were right in the middle of it all to celebrate 25 years of partnership with the Special Olympics movement at this event.
They were on site as volunteers for five days each and accompanied the athletes in the swimming hall during their competition. At the edge of the pool, they were always ready when they were needed, cheering and cheering along.
”I had respect for the task. I was all the more impressed by how warm everyone here is and what a great team spirit there is. Everyone approaches each other openly, supports each other and cheers each other on. I have met wonderful people here and taken them to my heart. I'm taking this positivity and appreciation with me and want to integrate it into my day-to-day work,
says Anna-Sophia Hartmann, Apprentice textile and fashion seamstress

Unconditional positivity and openness is something we can all learn from them. It was also very valuable as a team event here, because the experience really welds us together,

The volunteers were given time off for their workdays, because social commitment is an integral part of our corporate DNA.
