The Platform on Sport for Development and Peace is dedicated to spreading information and ideas, promoting initiatives, encouraging study and research, and creating practical tools and actions in the use of sport for peace and development.

It also aims to educate the Ibero-american public in the field of sport for development and seeks to contribute to the strengthening of this sector by convening its main players in a virtual space that can lead to the implementation of concrete actions in the use of sport as a social catalyst in our region.

The Platform was created by Alexander Cárdenas Ph.D., consultant, researcher and academic in this field.
