The initiative showcases the good practice of using sport to guide and empower young lives from unprivileged communities by developing essential skills that let them stay away from violence, crime and drug use.

Following the steps of this global initiative, #ChooseSport is a series of one-minute short videos that profile youth across the world who have gone through a transformation with sports and the trainers who promote this approach. Each episode tells the story of either a coach/mentor/trainer or a young person who faced different circumstances and challenges, and whose life went into a new direction by learning about discipline, respect and teamwork from sport trainings.

On this International Day of Non-Violence, support the #ChooseSport movement as it advocates for the power of sport to uplift lives and communities, and to build a more peaceful world. Share these messages on social media and, take a step even further by telling us your life-changing story when you #ChooseSport.
