SUMMARY:International Day of Sport for Development and Peace
DESCRIPTION:IDSDP 2024: Sport for the Promotion of Peaceful and Inclusive Societies\nThe 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. \nThe global theme for 2024 is “Sport for the Promotion of Peaceful and Inclusive Societies”. \nIn observance of the International Day\, on April 4 an event at UN Headquarters in New York will focus on how prominent sporting bodies engage in partnerships to make positive impacts for people and the environments in which they operate. It will bring together members of the international sporting community – including members of the United Nations Football for the Goals initiative – to share best practices\, discuss challenges\, and explore collaborative opportunities to drive positive social change and contribute to global efforts towards sustainable development and peace. \nThe United Nations has long recognized the power and universality of sport\, using it to unite individuals and groups through supporting sport for development efforts\, participating in events from the global to the grassroots level\, and developing its own sports-related campaigns and initiatives. \n\nBackground\nDue to its vast reach\, unparalleled popularity and foundation of positive values\, sport is ideally positioned to contribute towards the United Nations’ objectives for development and peace. \nTo raise awareness of this potential\, 6 April was declared as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) by the UN General Assembly. The adoption of this Day signifies the increasing recognition by the UN of the positive influence that sport can have on the advancement of human rights\, and social and economic development. \nIn its Resolution (A/RES/67/296) establishing the Day\, the General Assembly \n\n“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.” \n– UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J.
