00:00Francesca, we see you holding a book, The Sport We Like. Who it's for and how it came about.
00:07the idea of reading it for blind and visually impaired people?
00:12This book is read by Gianluigi Rosa, who is a Paralympic champion. Today he is putting himself to the test and will record for
00:20we like the sport we play.
00:22It's a book that talks about sport as a means of inclusion, as well as physical and emotional well-being.
00:31We chose this book together with CILP precisely because of the message we want to give to the little ones and the older ones.
00:40small,
00:41that is, to play sports and therefore to work as a team, to create an environment that is suitable for them and that
00:50let them grow in the healthiest way possible.
00:53This note is part of the activity we carry out in the spoken book, which deals with translating books into audio.
01:04published in Italy since 1957.
01:08Now we are here in one of the recording studios of the spoken book, there are seven in all of Italy, we are
01:15in Rome we.
01:18Alongside the professional production that we carry out in the studios there is also amateur production,
01:25made by people who give us their voice and therefore give us their time to record lyrics
01:35which are requested by all people registered for the talking book service,
01:40which we always remember is a completely free service that we have been offering for decades.
01:48Francesca, what does the book "The Sport We Like" tell us?
01:52So, the book tells the story of Carla, a little girl who initially hates sports,
01:57He doesn't understand why people watch football matches, why they play sports in general
02:03and thinks it's a waste of time.
02:06In short, within this story at a certain point he will meet Yusuf,
02:09who is a sports instructor, who will explain to her and the whole class why to play sports,
02:17so the importance of doing sports, of working as a team, of playing, because they are children,
02:25so we talk about play, about playing together to build a society that is based on respect
02:32and on collaboration between people.
02:35And so, for this event, it seemed like the most suitable book for Gianluigi to record.
02:42Can we say that this is a message to be addressed not only to children but also to adults?
02:46Exactly, perhaps more to adults than to children who already know by birth that they have to work as a team.
02:54and we need to collaborate, so yes, we hope this message reaches many adults.
