International Peace Day has proved itself one of the most impactful days of the year. Since it's foundation, Peace One Day helps lead the world in honoring and celebrating September 21st as a day of Global Cease-Fire and Peace. As a long time partner of POD, Coaches Across Continents contributes to this celebration with strategy consultations, social media exposure, and free activity & game resource packets to our global network. This global impact reaches over 100 countries!
With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to rally behind, Peace One Day highlights Goal #17: Partnerships for the Goals. In the spirit of #17, those in the CAC network have helped us translate our free Game Packet into 9 different languages! This opens doors for more and more organizations and people to celebrate the day.
Today and over the next week, Coaches Across Continents' partners will celebrate Peace Day with a wide range of activities. One example is in Mindinao, Philippines, where our partner, Gawad Kalinga, hosts games and activities for the children on both sides of the ongoing conflict between soldiers and rebels. Another is a South Sudanese refugee camp that will hold a tournament. There will be dancing in the DRC, Parades in Liberia, Festivals in Indonesia and CAC games being played in 100+ countries around the globe.
Coaches Across Continents is the global leader in Creating Legacies. Our efforts on projects and programming such as this one have been recognized with 25 major global awards, including this year's Beyond Sport Global Impact of the Year Award.
