The application provides educators with access to the Peace and Sport methodology, regardless of location and field of work.
13 digital programs
Methodologies Peace and Sport offers a range of sports activities aimed at promoting the values of peace, such as dialogue, respect and cooperation. 13 programs are being implemented in 12 countries around the world, including Mali, Rwanda, Colombia and Jordan.
