As planned, the trainees will assist as Liaison Officers for the delegations taking part in the Olympic Games, who speak Portuguese, during their stay in Beijing. To this end, a Liaison Centre will be set up for the duration of the Olympic Games in Beijing, where trained members of ACOLOP and COM will be able to help with communication in Chinese and Portuguese, using the skills they have acquired during the various Olympic events. The introductory Mandarin course, which is still underway, began in May at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and is designed to instruct trainees in the Mandarin terminology used at the Olympic Games, as well as to introduce them to the richness of Chinese culture. Given that the first phase of the training is coming to an end, ACOLOP and COM are already preparing the next phase, which will hopefully be led by BOCOG, and which will have as one of its objectives to prepare the trainees for the coordination they will have to establish between the Portuguese-speaking participants and the Chinese elements in the various Olympic activities and events in which they will take part. According to the Director of BOCOG's International Relations Department, Zhao Huimin, this new phase of training aims above all to provide the trainees with a pragmatic knowledge of the organisational structure, its various operations, the functions of each department and all the infrastructures where the Olympic Games take place. The aim of all the training given is for the members of ACOLOP and COM to be able to use the linguistic knowledge they have acquired so that, together with their skills and cultural heritage, they can best welcome all those taking part in the Olympic Games, especially Portuguese speakers, so that they can fully enjoy the Olympic Games and Chinese culture. The participation of the members of ACOLOP and COM was only possible thanks to the important support and contribution of the Office of the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture of Macau, which subsidised the entire training session.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":598,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596\/revisions\/598"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
