International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

-

Every year 6th April is celebrated as International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) is an annual celebration of the power of sport to drive social change, community development and to foster peace and understanding. Created by the United Nations General Assembly in 23 August 2013, supported by the International Olympic Committee since 6 April 2014.

This date commemorates the inauguration, in 1896, of the first Olympic games of the modern era, in Athens, (Greece)


On 23 August 2013, the United Nations General Assembly in Resolution 67/296 decides to proclaim on 6 April as the "International Day of the Sport for the Development and the Peace". The United Nations, with this commemoration, "invites States, the United Nations system and in particular the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace, relevant international organizations, and international, regional and national sports organizations, civil society, including non-governmental organizations and the private sector, and all other relevant stakeholders to cooperate, observe and raise awareness of the "International Day of Sport for Development and Peace". 


It also presents an opportunity to recognize the positive role sport and physical activity play in communities and in people’s lives across the globe. Sport has the power to change the world; it is a fundamental right and a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development and peace, as well as solidarity and respect for all. In recognition of sport’s broad influence, the global theme of IDSDP 2022 is, “Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport,” which creates an opportunity for the Day’s celebrations to promote the use of sport as a tool to advance human rights and sustainable development. Under this theme, UN Headquarters in New York will recognize the role of sport in addressing the climate crisis and will highlight actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate against climate change. Sport is in a unique position to display leadership, to take responsibility for its carbon footprint, engage in a climate neutral journey, incentivize action beyond the sporting sector, and play a major role in amplifying awareness among its billions of spectators, facilitators and participants at all levels. With the need for urgent action growing more dire every day, the relationship between sport and climate must be better understood and ways of developing policies and taking concrete action to help reverse the impact of climate change through sport must be communicated to as wide an audience as possible. Today, our world faces generational challenges, from poverty and hunger, to climate change to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than ever, we need to overcome our differences and unite as one team working together to tackle these obstacles and create a safer, more peaceful, and more sustainable future for all.

‘National Brothers Day’

Every year 24th May is observed as ‘National Brothers Day’ since 2005. Brother is not a single word but it defines a feeling. When it’s brother’s day so we can call our brothers and tell them how much we love them and how weird they are as we always do-:) The word ‘Brother’ stems from German word ‘Brothar’ which itself comes from European root ‘Bhrater’ and also some people claim it to be taken from ancient Hindi word ‘Bhrata’ which means Brother. But according to me brothers are the once who bother us. When you are younger than your brother then you can enjoy annoying them and when you’re Elder brother then you can order them using your powers. Brotherhood is very strong among men whether it is blood relation or not, men take their ‘bro code’ very seriously. There isn’t much that important that can ever come between a strong brotherhood bond. They’re our closest friend sometimes the most annoying person we know but we love them anyway. If you’re blessed with a brother then this is the...
