International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is April 6th. This day highlights the important role sport plays in communities, and in people’s lives. It was created in recognising the popularity of sport across the world, and the way it can contribute to the UN’s goals of development and peace. The 2024 theme is: Sport for the Promotion of Peaceful and Inclusive Societies. You are likely already celebrating sport through your own involvement, but you may also like to read some of our books on the topic, such as those recommended below.
