In 1894, Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intechopen.com\/online-first\/sport-for-development-and-peace-current-perspectives-of-research\">I remained convinced that sport is one of the most forceful elements of peace and I am confident in its future action<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But it\u2019s really Nelson Mandela\u2019s words that inspired the contemporary movement. In a speech at the 2000 Laureus World Sport Awards, he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cSport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/db.nelsonmandela.org\/speeches\/pub_view.asp?pg=item&amp;ItemID=NMS1148\">it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed, the South African leader decided to use the power of sport\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2013\/dec\/08\/nelson-mandela-francois-pienaar-rugby-world-cup\">during the 1995 Rugby World Cup<\/a>\u00a0after the official end of apartheid in order to unite the South African people.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GdopyAFP0DI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 2003, the United Nations General Assembly adopted\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportanddev.org\/en\/document\/un-reports-un-resolutions\/un-general-assembly-resolution-585-sport-means-promote-health\">a resolution in favour of the use of sport as a tool<\/a>\u00a0for development and peace building. In 2015, it\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/portal.unesco.org\/en\/ev.php-URL_ID=13150&amp;URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&amp;URL_SECTION=201.html\">reaffirmed the 1978 UNESCO International Charter<\/a>\u00a0for Physical Education and Sport. Between 2008 and 2017, the UN went a step further by establishing the UN Office for Sport and Development and Peace. Through this agency, a large number of projects were developed\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.unesco.org\/new\/en\/social-and-human-sciences\/themes\/physical-education-and-sport\/sport-for-peace-and-development\/\">particularly in Central America and West Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>From soccer clubs to community tournaments<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In these initiatives, sport is a lever for integration or social reintegration in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/QMR-01-2014-0011\">developing countries<\/a>\u00a0or in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1123\/jsm.2014-0263\">conflict-affected areas<\/a>. For youth especially, sport can be a way of instilling respect for opponents and rules, teamwork, sportsmanship, determination and discipline.<\/p>\n<p>For example, soccer matches are used between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/women\/politics\/no-israeli-palestinian-sides-just-team-football-can-build\/\">two enemy sides to help rebuild relationships<\/a>. In addition to its positive impact on health, sport also helps with the prevention of violence and with awareness of diseases\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/grassrootsoccer.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/F4_HIV_Report.pdf\">such as HIV\/AIDS<\/a>. These fundamental principles can transfer into the social lives of the athletes in a way that has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177%2F146499340700800204\">a positive impact on development in their region<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, sport for development and peace can then take many forms.

It can also take the form of soccer games between Palestinian and Israeli youth to work on social cohesion and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportanddev.org\/en\/article\/news\/peacebuilding-through-sports-israelpalestine\">teach them how to respect one another<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Events like the Olympic Games and indeed, the Youth Olympic Games, are carrying out de Coubertin\u2019s vision but in an increasingly less amateur and often more corporate fashion. Truly, it is the smaller and more local initiatives, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ongbelavenir.org\/proyectos\/ecoles-sociosportives\/\">Bel Avenir<\/a>\u00a0(a sports initiative in Madagascar and Cambodia), that are aiming to accomplish Mandela\u2019s goal of uniting people through sports.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Benefits for development and for peace<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sport offers many\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/17430437.2015.1050264\">benefits, including individual development<\/a>, health promotion and disease prevention, gender equality, social integration, peace-building or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/17430430802019268\">conflict prevention\/resolution and post-disaster\/trauma assistance<\/a>.
