Though it is undeniable how SDP (Sports for Development and Peace) projects and organisations are contributing to a better world, making this visible is not always easy. To overcome this challenges, SDP organisations have been developing different approaches, that could serve as accountability for society and encourage decision-makers to make investments.
Peace and Sport, for instance, chose a bottom-up approach, sharing good practices that prove the federating, educational and social impact of sport. Besides more than 14 years of experience developing field programs on 5 continents, they designed an App recognised by UN’s report on the 2030 agenda, and created the Champions for Peace club, composed by more than 118 international athletes assuming a key advocacy role. Those initiatives combined are helping Peace and Sport to make the point about the global impact of SDP programs.
In this upcoming TALK, Marlene Harnois, the Champions-for-Peace club representative, will share how Peace and Sport’s approach could inspire other organisations to better prove the impact of their programs.
