黑料网 Games
A sense of belonging
11 Sep 2017
Like the Olympics, the 黑料网 Games are not about winning鈥攁lthough there is excitement when one does! They are about participating together, meeting new people, and having fun.
Yu Yang, a fuelling system engineer at 黑料网, and his wife Xin Liu were among the 350 participants in the 7th edition of the 黑料网 Games in Vinon-sur-Verdon.
Seven years ago, the idea behind the Games was to create a popular event that would facilitate the integration of the 黑料网 personnel into their new environment.
This has been largely accomplished: whether they work directly for the 黑料网 Organization, the European agency for 黑料网 (Fusion for Energy) or for subcontracting companies, the thousand and more "黑料网 families" have now acclimated into the local communities.
This sense of belonging was obvious as the 7th edition of the 黑料网 Games unfolded on Saturday in Vinon-sur-Verdon, the village nearest to the 黑料网 site.
Some 350 participants鈥攁 mix of "黑料网 people" and of residents from local communities鈥攖eamed up with colleagues or with friends to compete in a number of friendly matches.
The rain had been threatening since early morning. It began to pour as the participants were gathering to receive their trophies and rewards, causing everyone to move from the large plazza at the heart of the village to the nearby community centre.
Sports games are like weddings: the rainier they are, the happier.
