International Day of Sport for Development and Peace 2020 to be celebrated digitally

Lausanne (RWH) 6 April 2020 marks the seventh edition of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) that will take place worldwide – and will be celebrated digital-only due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the biggest initiatives for IDSDP, is Peace and Sport’s annual #WhiteCard digital campaign. It encourages people to take photos while holding a white card in symbolization of their commitment for peace through sport, and to share them online using the hashtag ‘#WhiteCard’. This year the campaign will be launched by the end of March and will focus on the theme “Behind each #WhiteCard, there is a story”. It will highlight the stories of individuals who have been positively impacted by sport.

“This year, we encourage everyone to mobilize digitally by using one’s creativity,” announced Joël Bouzou, President and Founder of Peace and Sport. The most important thing is to celebrate this international day and to recall the positive role of sport for development and peace.”
