Using sport to contribute to a better world on 6th April
Following the success of last year’s first-ever International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on 6th April, the Olympic Movement is once again gearing up to celebrate the power of sport and highlight how it can help build a better world.
To raise awareness, 6th April was declared as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace by the UN General Assembly in August 2013.
FIS has been contributing to physical, educational and social development through its Bring Children to the Snow campaign and its partnership with Right To Play.
World Snow Day and FIS SnowKidz, the two projects which make up the Bring Children to the Snow campaign, saw more than 700,000 and 1,113 events happening in 49 countries throughout the 2014/15 season. Besides enjoying and exploring the snow, children have been given the opportunity to learn about the environment, health benefits of snow activities and safety on and off the snow.
Meanwhile, FIS’ international charity partner Right To Play is using the power of play to educate and empower children and youth. Through playing sports and games, Right To Play teaches children essential life skills that help them overcome the effects of poverty, conflict and disease so they can create better futures and drive lasting social change in their communities and beyond.
