The Peace & Sport International Forum opening in Monaco 25 – 27 November.
Prince Albert II of Monaco and Peace & Sport founder Joel Bouzou have opened the 8th edition of the Peace & Sport International Forum.
Pat Hickey, President of the European Olympic Committees is in Monaco and was also part of the Jury for the Peace & Sport Awards.
Prince Albert said “Sport has the unique and extraordinary capacity to unite people together, communities under extreme tension, populations facing dramatic armed conflict,” said Albert II, the reigning monarch of the Principality of Monaco.
“Because of its intrinsic values, sport contributes also establishing and maintaining peace in some regions of the world,” he said. “Each year, we see sport helping to build bridges between nations, where traditional diplomacy has failed.
“We see it contributing to a restoration of dialogue where political pressure has proved ineffective.”
This evening they will have the Gala event at Sporting Monte-Carlo when the Awards will be announced.. The closing Session will be on Friday with four workshops.
