Furthering our vision and initiatives, on a communication level, ‘SPORT’ can be used as an effective delivery mechanism for education about peace, tolerance, and respect for opponents, regardless of ethnic, cultural, religious or other differences... and as you know, ‘MUSIC’ is the universal language of peace throughout the world, bridging all boundaries and ‘The ARTS’ is the gifted ‘soul of creation’.The inclusive nature of SPORT, MUSIC, and THE ARTS are great tools to increase knowledge, understanding and awareness about peaceful co-existence. Sport-Music-Art based development activities ensure that these powerful and diverse elements of civil society becomes an active and committed force in the global partnership for development... a true formula of ‘peace’.
