The 12th Peace and Sport International Forum will gather key decision- makers including Heads of State, strategical leaders from business and the sports world, Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, representatives from civil society, international organizations and young leaders around the theme “Investing in Peace, Acting through Sport”. The discussions will help to pinpoint and share solutions to scale-up investment in longer-term efforts to transform societies and leave a sustainable legacy for generations to come. In order to showcase best practices and pragmatic solutions, the Peace and Sport Awards will reward organizations and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to peace, dialogue and social change in the world through sport. From local field programs to global initiatives, the winners have one thing in common: they lead projects which are representative of sport’s capacity to reconcile divided or opposed communities.
Additionally, this edition will mark the 10th anniversary of the Champions for Peace club, paying tribute to 10 years of commitment of more than 100 high-level athletes.
