Sport, enjoyed by young people everywhere, has the unique potential to bring communities together and prevent conflict. By providing a framework for teaching essential life skills thanks to qualified educators, sport becomes a vehicle for peace and social cohesion.
This revolutionary initiative aims to demonstrate the powerful and unifying impact of sport, while promoting a culture of peace through concrete and tangible actions.
Launched in 2021 by the international organisation, the “Peacemakers Project” aims to identify the challenges, best practices and needs of leading organisations in the field of sport for peace. Its bottom-up approach aims to strengthen the social impact of sport at community level.
