World Peace School Sports Day 21 September 2022
- Published: 08 September 2022
World Peace School Sports Day has been conceived by a group of Anglo-Irish educationalists with the aim of empowering young people to use sport and physical activity to reaffirm international values of peace and friendship.
The first World Peace Schools Sports Day is planned to coincide with the UN World Day of Peace on 21st September 2022. The aim is simple, the impact far-reaching.
This is a call for as many schools as possible to take part by signing up as soon as possible on the website. https://www.worldpeaceschoolsportsday.com
Wearing blue or yellow for the day, students donate €1 to take part in school-based sporting or e-sport event. Students can participate in events organised by the school, their PE lesson, Daily Mile or just decide to do something simple like running around the playground on their own! The decision is up to each individual school, but without adding to workload or creating bureaucracy. It is great to do what you would have already have been doing, but with this added focus! Given the current hostilities in Ukraine, it is suggested that funds raised in the first year will go to support the people caught up in this humanitarian disaster.
The aim is to use this initial event as the starting point to bring schools and youth groups around the world together in an annual programme of activities to demonstrate the power of young people and sport to make positive change.
World Peace School Sports Day is already supported by a number of leading professional associations and global ambassadors from the world of elite sport. Please join that movement.
