6 April 2019, 6th International Day of Sport for Development and Peace
Dear EMMANOUILIDOU Emmanouilidou,
Established by the United Nations General Assembly with the support of the International Olympic Committee in 2013, each year the international community, activated by Peace and Sport, celebrates the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on April 6th.
We are fully aware that you are working every day to foster dialogue, social inclusion and peace through the values of sport; that is why we wanted to thank you for the initiatives you have done for the previous sessions and we strongly encourage you to celebrate again April6 within your community.
There are two different ways to participate in the April6 celebration:
– Joining the celebration by organizing an event/activity and registering it on the dedicated www.april6.org website.
– Participating in the worldwide digital #WhiteCard campaign by taking a selfie of you or your organization holding a #WhiteCard, just like a referee on a playing field, and posting it on social media with the hashtag #WhiteCard
Looking for ideas to plan your own event? Check out the documents attached to the April6 Toolbox or visit www.april6.org platform.
Why should you register your project on the www.april6.org platform?
It’s a way to expand your network, join a global movement and raise awareness within your local community.
It allows you to share best practices and get inspired thanks to the interactive map.
It gives visibility to your event.
You will be included in the April6 annual report.
You increase your chances to be awarded as the best April6 Initiative of the Year at the Peace and Sport Awards which will take place in the Principality of Monaco in December 2019.
We are looking forward to learning more about the ways in which you will celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace!
