International Day of Sport for Development and peace

This year we celebrate the first-ever International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on 6^th April.

Sport is a universal language with its many intrinsic values such as teamwork, fairness, discipline, and respect for the opponent. The rules of the game are understood all over the world and therefore can be harnessed in the advancement of solidarity, social cohesion and peaceful coexistence.

Sport empowers youth, promotes good health and can be a driving force for social change. It can also contribute to an atmosphere of tolerance and environment of fair play and better understanding amongst different groups.

Sport & Cooperation Network recognizes sport, as a tool for education, development and peace, which can promote values such are cooperation, solidarity, tolerance, understanding, social inclusion and health in society. In the spirit of celebration of these values we organize a sport event on 10^th May which would be an opportunity for children to come together and join in a football match.
