The document discusses how sport can promote peace and social development in 3 main ways: 1) Sport conveys basic values like tolerance, teamwork, and fair play that are important for peaceful coexistence. It also helps develop character skills like discipline and self-motivation. 2) As a universal language, sport brings people together across boundaries and cultures, promoting peace, tolerance and understanding through teamwork and respecting rules. 3) Sport provides youth a space for mental development, social interaction, cultural exchange and personality building in a positive environment, helping to build community.

2. SPORTS FOR PEACE
• Everywhere in the world sport plays an important
role in society, for it is capable of conveying
basic rules and essential values of peaceful
coexistence – such as tolerance, team spirit,
loyalty and fair play.
• In addition, sport is especially suitable to form
character skills, which are important for a
fulfilling and happy life, because sport as a
medium also gives the value of discipline,
endurance, courage and self-motivation.
• By conveying the ethics of sport, it also lays the
foundations for a more peaceful, humane world.

3. SPORTS FOR PEACE
• Sport embodies the uniting principles of
participation, inclusion and citizenship. As a
universal language, sport can be a powerful tool
to promote peace, tolerance and understanding
by bringing people together across boundaries,
cultures and religions.
• Its intrinsic values such as teamwork, fairness,
discipline, respect for the opponent and the rules
of the game are understood all over the world.

4. SPORTS FOR PEACE
• Sport doesn’t just support physical well-being,
but also creates a recreational space for the
youth to promote mental development.
• It provides a space for the upcoming
generation to interact, learn social skills, have
a cultural exchange and develop their
personalities in a positive environment,
thereby building a community.

5. SPORTS AGAINST RACISM
• Racism is the process by which systems and
policies, actions and attitudes create inequitable
opportunities and outcomes for people based on
race. Racism is more than just prejudice in
thought or action. It occurs when this prejudice
– whether individual or institutional – is
accompanied by the power to discriminate
against, oppress or limit the rights of others.
• Racism adapts and changes over time, and can
impact different communities in different ways,
with racism towards different groups
intensifying in different historical moments.

6. SPORTS AGAINST RACISM
• An example of this is the spike in racism
towards Asian and Asian-Australian people
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Racism includes all the laws, policies,
ideologies and barriers that prevent people
from experiencing justice, dignity, and
equity because of their racial identity. It can
come in the form of harassment, abuse or
humiliation, violence or intimidating
behaviour. However, racism also exists in
systems and institutions that operate in
ways that lead to inequity and injustice.

7. SPORTS AGAINST RACISM
• Race and racism have been central to the
organisation of Australian society since
European colonisation began in 1788. As
the First Peoples of Australia, Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander peoples have
borne the brunt of European colonisation
and have a unique experience of racism.
The process of colonisation, and the
beliefs that underpin it, continue to shape
Australian society today.

8. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SPORTS
• Sport has the power to align our passion, energy
and enthusiasm around a collective cause. And
that is precisely when hope can be nurtured and
trust can be regained. It is in our collective
interest to harness the tremendous power of sport
to help build a better and more sustainable future
for all."
• By - UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J.
Mohammed

9. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SPORTS
• The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP), which
takes place annually on 6 April, presents an opportunity to recognize the
positive role sport and physical activity play in communities and in people’s
lives across the globe.
• Sport has the power to change the world; it is a fundamental right and a
powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development
and peace, as well as solidarity and respect for all.

10. • In recognition of sport’s broad influence, the global
theme of IDSDP 2022 is, “Securing a Sustainable and
Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport,”
which creates an opportunity for the Day’s celebrations
to promote the use of sport as a tool to advance human
rights and sustainable development. Under this theme,
UN Headquarters in New York will recognize the role
of sport in addressing the climate crisis and will
highlight actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions
and mitigate against climate change.

11. Sport is in a unique position to display leadership, to take
responsibility for its carbon footprint, engage in a climate neutral
journey, incentivize action beyond the sporting sector, and play a
major role in amplifying awareness among its billions of spectators,
facilitators and participants at all levels. With the need for urgent
action growing more dire every day, the relationship between sport
and climate must be better understood and ways of developing
policies and taking concrete action to help reverse the impact of
climate change through sport must be communicated to as wide an
audience as possible.
