Today is the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace!
Sport, development, and peace – all three are quintessential to a healthy, prosperous and sustainable life. Accordingly, every year the UN celebrates the crucial role of sport as a driving force for development and peace. In fact, many international conventions explicitly stipulate the right of access to sport while it has too often been disrespected. However, sport is a powerful lever to reinforce social cohesion and to promote core values such as cooperation, fairness, and respect. At the same time, this universal language can serve as a means to fostering peace by building bridges through sport as a common denominator. Moreover, the communal aspect of sport enables development especially vis-à-vis the empowerment of women.
So, get out there, get active and check out our sport-themed speeches!
