“Over the past 15 years, Peace and Sport has built a growing international community of peace through sport, consisting of policy makers, peace leaders, civil society representatives, NGOs, athletes and sports institutions, and achieving great things,” said Kailash Satyarthi, 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner. “From now on, the organisation will focus on giving a voice to project leaders, so as to make decision-makers aware of the realities in the field.”
