The Sport for Development and Peace Team
“There is no priority more important than children and youth, and no greater gift that we can give them than their health and well-being. Play – both structured and unstructured – is the primary means through which young children explore and learn about the world and themselves. It is integral to the development of their minds, their creativity and their emotional and social selves. Sport and play are a means for natural self-expression, the development of self-confidence, and, very importantly, the relief of tension.”
Johann Olav Koss
President, Right To Play
On April 16th 2008, Right To Play launched a very special initiative called the Sport for Development and Peace Teams. Chaired by ex-England international footballer Graeme Le Saux, theSport for Development and Peace Team event brought together nearly 100 people from different sectors across London – Theatre, Music, Sport, Finance, Media, Sales and Retail.
The teams spent nearly 2 hours brainstorming ideas for how to raise the profile of Right To Play and how to raise money for Right To Play’s Sport for Peace Projects around the world.
Their mission was simple yet grand. The Teams would compete against each other to raise as much money as possible, and then, with the help of Right To Play, find projects across the world that they could fund.
The Right To Play Sport for Development and Peace Teams is a new idea in the world of charity. These people were not brought together for their money, but were asked to give their time, their ideas, their experience and their passion to create and sustain change. 
On July 16th, the Teams came together once more and shared their visions for raising funds. They presented to the whole group, and new ideas were shared and discussed. Competition flew out of the window for just a few hours as the Teams cross-fertilised ideas and skills.
The Right To Play Sport for Development and Peace Teams is in it’s early stages, but at the end of this year, and looking into 2009, the ideas will reach fruition and things will really start to get interesting.
Everyone involved in the initiative are united by their shared passion to make a difference on a global scale, and we at Right To Play know that their ideas, their skills and their experience will make change happen.
To find out more on how you can get involved in this exciting initiative, please contact Right To Play Deputy National Director, Mike Emery at memery@righttoplay.com
We can all give something; do something to make a difference. This might be your chance…
