6 April - Intl. Day of Sport for Development & Peace

🎉 6 APRIL: The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace! What am I optimistic and excited about this year?! 👇🏿 👀

❇️ There is SO much groundbreaking work going on (curriculum design, research, activism, and policy development) by and for people who are still sidelined from sport for development programs, including people with refugee and migrant experiences, people with disabilities, and people who identify as trans and non-binary. If that's you - or you're celebrating great work today, TAG IT HERE, let's celebrate it!! 🏳️‍🌈

❇️ The new Sport for Development Platform, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It has superb free content and webinars in multiple languages and time zones for practitioners worldwide. 🌎

❇️ There is a growing movement of professional athletes, social entrepreneurs, human rights organizations, and tech companies learning together and aligning on blockchain and regenerative crypto economics. 🌐

❇️ The International Olympic Committee – IOC just launched an Innovation Fund to invest in innovative approaches to using sport for social impact, expertly designed and managed by Women Win and Beyond Sport. 💡

❇️ And taking this opportunity to celebrate my company, READY, and our commitment to the #SportForDevelopment movement. We are involved in several innovative projects, from advising on digital strategies for grassroots sport in Europe, to curating learning experiences on #ArtificialIntelligence for sport for development and women’s sport organizations! 💥
