Peace & Sport International Forum Underway
Prince Albert II of Monaco and Peace and Sport founder Joel Bouzou led a Peace Walk to open the eighth edition of the Peace and Sport International Forum on Wednesday evening in Monaco.
The latest edition of the annual Forum addresses a timely theme during a turbulent period for world sport: faced with new threats to peace, what solutions can sport offer?
Policy-makers, sport leaders and champions, Olympians, NGO’s and other key figures will address pressing issues confronting today’s society from the rise of extremism to escalating military conflicts and a global migration crisis at the event, Nov. 25-27.
"The current international context makes our action all the more essential," said Bouzou.
"The International Forum is a crucial event for Peace and Sport," he continued.
