2024 OUTSTANDING SPORTS FOR PEACE

Peace and Sport, “L’Organisation pour la Paix par le Sport”, is a Monaco based organization that participates in the construction of a culture of peace, through sport.

Founded in 2007 by Modern Pentathlon Olympic medallist and World Champion Joël Bouzou, Peace and Sport is placed under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. The organization relies on a bottom-up approach to identify challenges, good practices and needs and proposes solutions to support the implementation of high-impact programmes that use sport to build peaceful, inclusive and equitable communities.

Peace and Sport calls on international decision-makers to deploy the intentional use of sport as a tool for transmitting values for peace, relying on its universality, on its role models and on field actors trained with the day-to-day needs.

“Sport is a great vehicle for respect and inclusion, because its rules apply equally to everyone. Throughout sport, we can build a culture of peace within communities.” Joël Bouzou President and Founder, Peace and Sport
