The 2020 edition of the Peace and Sport Awards appointed the Argentinian soccer prodigy and captain of FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi, as Champion for Peace of the Year.
« It is an honour to receive the “Champion for Peace of the Year” Award.

I thank Peace and Sport and H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco for this Award and I look forward to continuing inspiring and supporting disadvantaged people » said Lionel Messi.
The Champion for Peace of the Year Award rewards an athlete who has led a significant and sustainable sports initiative towards peace, justice and social inclusion.

FACING THE GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS, THE JUDOKA COMMUNITY GETS MOBILIZED
“Judo is not just a sport. It is much more. It’s impossible to reduce it purely to its sporting dimension. This has always been the case, going back to the origins of the sport. Its Japanese inventor, Jigoro Kano, created judo in 1882 as a sports discipline, but he also intended it as a tool for social development which emancipates the mind and body, contributing to a more just society. Since then, we have never lost sight of this principle and these values. They are inscribed into the DNA of judo, its institutions, its champions and its practitioners.(…) »

HOW NELSON MANDELA INSPIRED FRANCOIS PIENAAR AND THE SPRINGBOKS TO CONQUER THE WORLD
Francois Pienaar, even 25 years on, conveys a sense of disbelief and awe when he talks of that crisp Highveld winter’s day that the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup for the first time.
The Springbok captain’s wonder is not so much about the fact that his team won the Webb Ellis Cup at Ellis Park on 24 June 1995, for he says he always felt they could pull it off, but that he received the golden trophy from President Nelson Mandela.

TRUE POWER OF SPORT REVEALED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE
“Does the exceptional cause the extraordinary? The #WhiteCard campaign initiated by Peace and Sport on April6, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, took place in exceptional circumstances this year. The coronavirus pandemic has prevented mass gatherings in many countries. The majority of the world’s population is living in a state of confinement. But the results of this campaign aimed at promoting global solidarity and unity were extraordinary. It reached more than 117 million people on social networks. The new record set last year, of 98 million Internet users worldwide, was again broken. The 100 million mark was exceeded for the first time.(…) »

PEACE THROUGH SPORT ISN’T STOPPING. #WHITECARD FOR GLOBAL SOLIDARITY
“April 6, 2020, should have been a day of celebration. On this date as every year, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace should have brought communities and people together physically. It was meant to be a new illustration of the collective mobilization of the sports movement all over the world. It still will be. But the exceptional circumstances imposed by the current health crisis will give it a different dimension and format this year. At a time when the entire planet is fighting daily for its health, faced with a virus with effects that are still uncontrollable, sport could seem secondary, even futile. But it isn’t. It can be a platform for global solidarity.(…) »

USING THE POWER OF SPORT TO “LIFT PEACE UP”!
“I won my first Olympic gold medal in 1992 at the Barcelona Games. I was 20 years old. I discovered the Olympic universe. I was born and lived my early years in Albania, as a member of the Greek minority group. I was completely unaware of the power that sport can exert on youth, on society, and even on an entire country. At the time, Greece was engaged in a patient reconstruction process. It sought to regain confidence in its future and the accession to the European single market. Additionally, the capital city, Athens, was bidding to host the Olympic Summer Games(…) »

“With the way I have experienced sport, I know that it is a personal development tool for all young people. If we know how to accompany them in the practice of sport, we can train responsible and committed citizens. The goal is to compete in a competitive process while respecting the opponent. Whether they are excellent or not, they must be respected. These are values that are useful in social life.

“I discovered football when I was 7 years old. In Bethlehem, in my country Palestine. When I started, girls didn’t kick balls. Nobody accepted it. There was nothing for us. No teams, no coaches, no equipment. Nothing. But I insisted. In my world of barbed wire and forbidden access, football was a place of freedom and hope for me. At 14, I realized that it was much more than a sport; it was a means to change stereotypes, a way to affirm identity and bring about social inclusion(…) »

Nowadays, I still have the same belief in the strength and impact of its values. That’s why, on a daily basis, I get engaged at a grass roots level, as well as with institutions. I was involved in the bid for the 2024 Games in Paris, working on the legacy side. I live in Seine-Saint-Denis so I am directly concerned by the way in which an event like this can benefit the population(…) »

TRASH TO TREASURE: EVEREST GARBAGE GIVEN NEW LEASE OF LIFE
By Paavan MATHEMA
Kathmandu, Oct 22, 2019 (AFP) – A group of tourists sip water at a five-star hotel in Kathmandu, unaware that the green glasses in their hands were once bottles discarded on Mount Everest — left by climbers eager to make their ascent.
In homes across the Nepali capital upcycled items, from pots to lamps, crafted from Everest waste products are slowly making their way as authorities and businesses look for fresh ways to tackle the damage caused by decades of commercial mountaineering.

Boris Herrmann, le skipper engagé qui a conduit Greta Thunberg à New York, sera intervenant au Forum International Peace and Sport 2019
Communiqué de presse, Monaco, 08/10/2019
Boris Herrmann, navigateur et skipper de l’équipe Malizia, a été annoncé aujourd’hui comme intervenant au Forum International Peace and Sport 2019, qui débutera le 11 décembre au Monte Carlo One, à Monaco.
Boris Herrmann a récemment mené Greta Thunberg au sommet mondial sur le climat des Nations unies à New York dans son bateau de course zéro carbone, le Malizia II. Il animera une master class intitulée « Protéger notre planète par le sport » et partagera des contributions concrètes et des recommandations pour agir à travers le sport afin de protéger les populations et notre planète.
Le navigateur engagé a fait trois tours du monde, dont l’un sans escale, et relèvera bientôt ce défi en solitaire pour le Vendée Globe 2020, faisant de lui le premier Allemand à prendre part à la course. Outre la compétition sportive, Malizia II vise à contribuer à la recherche, à la protection de l’environnement et à l’éducation des jeunes. Une sonde reliée au bateau recueille des données sur la température, le pH, les niveaux de sel et la teneur en dioxyde de carbone de l’eau pour la recherche marine.
À propos du Forum, Boris Herrmann a déclaré :
« C’est passionnant de pouvoir partager l’expérience inspirante du Malizia II dans sa course à la protection de notre planète. Grâce à l’action collective et au leadership courageux, le sport a le pouvoir d’inciter les gens à créer des changements durables. Nous sommes convaincus que le sport en général peut sensibiliser et que la voile, en particulier, a une grande influence sur la lutte pour le climat. Lorsque nous naviguons en haute mer, nous évoluons dans les éléments les plus extrêmes de la nature, tout en mettant en avant des technologies propres pour faire le tour du monde sans émission. C’est une course que nous devons gagner. »
La Championne de la Paix et la médaillée olympique Sylvia Poll, le Fondateur de Futurous Philippe Blanchard et le cofondatreur Humankind Jorn Wemmenhove, seront également intervenants au Forum.
Première athlète costaricaine à remporter une médaille olympique aux JO de Séoul en 1988, Sylvia Poll est actuellement ambassadrice adjointe à la Mission du Costa Rica auprès des Nations unies à Genève et chef de la Division de l’appui aux projets au Bureau de développement des télécommunications (BDT). Elle interviendra lors de la séance plénière sur « Le sport pour le bien social à l’ère de la révolution technologique » aux côtés de Philippe Blanchard. Ils examineront le rôle du sport comme plate-forme favorisant le dialogue, les relations humaines et la consolidation de la paix ainsi que les défis technologiques qu’il doit relever.
A propos du Forum International Peace and Sport
Cette année, le Forum sera une plateforme qui rassemblera plus de 600 décideurs, dont des Chefs d’État, des acteurs stratégiques du monde du sport et du business, des Prix Nobel de la Paix, des représentants de la société civile et des organisations internationales qui porteront la réflexion sur le thème « Investir pour la paix, agir par le sport ». Ce 12ème Forum International Peace and Sport se tiendra dans le nouveau centre de conférence appelé One Monte-Carlo, qui se situe au cœur de la Principauté. Cette édition du Forum sera également l’occasion de célébrer le 10ème anniversaire du club de Champions de la Paix, rendant hommage aux 10 années d’engagement de plus de 100 athlètes de haut niveau .

Le Forum International Peace and Sport 2019 portera sur l’investissement des entreprises pour la paix
Communiqué de presse, Monaco, 11/09/2019
Les conflits, l’instabilité sociale, la concurrence pour des ressources naturelles rares et le changement climatique continuent de perturber les sociétés et les marchés dans notre monde profondément interconnecté. Selon le Pacte mondial de l’ONU, l’impact économique de la violence représentait plus de 12% du PIB mondial en 2016. Dans ce contexte, Peace and Sport organise la 12ème édition de son Forum international du 11 au 13 décembre à Monaco sur le thème « Investir pour la paix, agir par le sport ». Cette édition soulignera le rôle des jeunes et du secteur privé dans l’exploration de la manière dont les entreprises et la créativité peuvent contribuer à cultiver la stabilité et à garantir les conditions de la paix.
Le Forum examinera comment les entreprises peuvent contribuer à créer des conditions pacifiques favorisant le commerce et les investissements par le sport. Il fournira une plate-forme dynamique à un grand nombre de partenaires commerciaux pour partager leurs expériences et identifier les principaux défis afin de créer des synergies et d’optimiser l’utilisation du sport pour promouvoir la paix. À cet égard, le Forum 2017 vise à susciter un changement créatif à travers trois sessions plénières et deux master-class passionnantes grâce à des partenariats avec des organisations internationales telles que le Conseil de l’Europe et des entreprises du sport comme le Yunus Sport Hub.
Joël Bouzou, Président-Fondateur de Peace and Sport, a déclaré :
« Cette édition sans précédent du Forum International démontrera qu’investir pour la paix peut avoir un impact positif sur les entreprises tout en contribuant à créer des sociétés plus inclusives. Avec ce format novateur, Peace and Sport attire des partenaires économiques et institutionnels qui souhaitent apporter un changement positif à la société par le sport. »
Des exemples concrets d’entreprises investies dans la paix par le sport seront présentés lors du Forum avec notamment le lancement officiel de « Peace and Sport by My Coach », une application numérique conçue par la start-up française My Coach Sport. Il s’agit de la toute première application au monde dédiée à « La paix par le sport », qui convertit la méthodologie Peace and Sport en un outil numérique. L’objectif est d’équiper les entraîneurs, les enseignants et les animateurs du monde entier avec des solutions numériques adaptées diffusant des formations et des connaissances axées sur la paix par le sport. Le premier développement de l’application portera sur la paix par le football avant d’explorer d’autres sports en partenariat avec les fédérations internationales.
A propos du Forum International Peace and Sport
Ces dix dernières années, nous avons pu voir se développer le mouvement de la paix par le sport, avec entre autres de nombreux programmes qui ont profité aux individus et aux communautés aux niveaux local, national et international à travers le monde. Cette année, le Forum sera une plateforme qui rassemblera plus de 600 décideurs, dont des Chefs d’État, des acteurs stratégiques du monde du sport et du business, des Prix Nobel de la Paix, des représentants de la société civile et des organisations internationales qui porteront la réflexion sur le thème « Investir pour la paix, agir par le sport ». Des délégués et des intervenants de haut niveau de plus de 90 pays différents identifieront et partageront des solutions pour transformer les sociétés et laisser un héritage durable aux générations futures. Ce 12ème Forum International Peace and Sport se tiendra dans le nouveau centre de conférence appelé One Monte-Carlo, qui se situe au cœur de la Principauté.

WITHOUT SCHOOL, I WILL NEVER BECOME AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION
I will not forget. Never. I will not forget the experience I just had in August with Peace and Sport. On the occasion of the 10th edition of the Friendship Games, organized in Burundi, I went to my home province, in the south of the country. I went to my school in Makamba, the city of my childhood, where I discovered both education and running. This brought my memories to the surface of learning sport, discovering its values, but also the taste for effort and the sense of sacrifice. Thanks to the Friendship Games, I had a very emotional time(…)

SPORT AS A VEHICLE FOR UNITY
I grew up in a large family in New Caledonia. I had 17 brothers and sisters and we were part of the Nang tribe on Lifou Island. So I was educated with traditions, a culture that is different to the metropolis.
I started playing sport at an early age; my father was a school instructor and for him it was a means of quickly attracting children’s attention. We were given the choice of several different items we could use during recreation periods, including ropes, balls and footballs, so we could exercise during these few minutes. Sport has always been part of me, starting with athletics and later playing football (…)

ALPINE CLIMBING ROUTES CRUMBLE AS CLIMATE CHANGE STRIKES
High up in the natural wonder of the French Alps, the climbers who spend their days among the rockfaces and glaciers have come to a grim conclusion: the mountains are falling down around them.
In the Mont Blanc range, a magnet for mountaineers in the summer, many popular routes up or through the peaks have become too dangerous to take because of the risk of falling debris.

CAN SPORT CHANGE HOW WE TALK ABOUT RAPE?
“There were so many people who were killed and massacred, but still I wish I was dead. I wouldn’t live with this burden.”
The words spoken by a victim of the Kosovo war, a woman raped and tortured over and over by soldiers as part of a war strategy to punish and ethnic cleanse.
This is not the first time I have heard these words spoken, nor have they come from just the mouths of women. No matter what country I go to, the rhetoric is the same: ‘I would rather die than be raped’. (…)

S.A.S. le Prince Albert II rend visite à l’organisation monégasque Peace and Sport
Communiqué de presse, Monaco, 01/07/2019
Lundi 1er juillet, S.A.S. le Prince Albert II de Monaco, a rendu visite à Peace and Sport, l’organisation internationale placée sous Son Haut Patronage et qui promeut la paix par le sport. Cette visite a permis de présenter l’équipe de Peace and Sport, les activités menées cette année et les perspectives 2020.
M. Joël Bouzou, Président-Fondateur de l’organisation, a accueilli le Prince Souverain pour une rencontre avec l’équipe et une présentation des activités en cours. Ils ont ensuite rejoint les membres du Conseil d’Administration MM. Georges Vanderchmitt, Henri Fissore et Frank Morel afin d’analyser les résultats de la campagne April6 célébrant la Journée Internationale du Sport au Service du Développement et de la Paix, les orientations de l’organisation et de présenter le Forum International Peace and Sport qui se tiendra du 11 au 13 décembre en Principauté.
Joël Bouzou, Président-Fondateur de Peace and Sport, a déclaré :
« Nous sommes fiers de recevoir notre Patron aujourd’hui et suite à la mobilisation mondiale que nous avons générée pour célébrer la Journée Internationale du Sport au Service du Développement et de la Paix. Grâce à la neutralité de Monaco, à l’universalité du sport et au soutien indéfectible de S.A.S. le Prince Albert II, nous avons pu mobiliser plus de 40 gouvernements, des chefs d’État, des organisations internationales, des fédérations internationales, des comités nationaux olympiques, des Champions de la Paix et des olympiens du monde entier.
