Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sports for Peace was created during the preliminary stages of the Olympic Games 2008 in response to the question whether sport or major sporting events could be obliged to common ideals. In “Sports for Peace” athletes from all over the world gain an important platform on which they can join their responsibility to promote the essential intrinsic values of sport: fair play, tolerance, the Olympic ideal of freedom, international and intercultural understanding. As a politically independent initiative, “Sports for Peace” offers a neutral basis to foster the spirit of fair play, the sense of community and the elimination of prejudice. The initiative is based in Berlin.
