Dear friends and colleagues, Dear actors for peace and development through sport, Launched in 2013 by the IOC and the UN and celebrated for the first time last year, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace has proven its capacity to mobilize actors worldwide and reach out to a global audience. In 2014, almost 350 projects across 90 countries were registered on the www.april6.org platform. On 6 April this year, it is up to us to keep the momentum going and raise even more awareness about this International Day in order to repeat the success of the first edition. This event is vital in strengthening and promoting sport’s credibility as a tool to tackle issues in society. Every day, new stakeholders are joining our movement, with the strong belief that sport can make a difference. The goal this year is to firmly establish 6 April as an event capable of mobilizing not just the international sports community but also the peace movement. To reach this goal, Peace and Sport is calling on each and every one of you to lend your support to two operations: Help us identify and promote projects and events held to celebrate 6 April! The www.april6.org platform is for you. Make a profile on the website, get creative and promote your initiatives to celebrate 6 April. You can use the platform to: Create and save your projects and activities planned for 6 April, Use the ‘Suggestion Box’ for inspiration on activities to carry out, Take part in or volunteer your help for an event near you.
