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, you were among those who registered a project on the www.april6.org platform. All in all, the website brought together almost 350 projects across 90 countries! Your efforts contributed significantly to the success of this celebration and to its recognition among the general public. 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. Every day our community is growing. Thanks to your on-going commitment and involvement through practical action, sport is being regarded more and more as a tool to tackle issues in society. Last year, your dedicated efforts helped us to meet our goal. Our focus in 2015 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 you once again to lend your support to two initiatives: Together, let’s develop and sustain the impact of the initiatives led for the celebration of 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.
