Right to Play

This position paper was developed to facilitate discussions at the Athens Roundtable on Sport for Development in 2004. At the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Right To Play hosted the first Roundtable Forum entitled “Healthier, Safer, Stronger: Using sport for development to build a brighter future for children worldwide”.

The 2002 Salt Lake City Roundtable Forum became a catalyst for the establishment of a United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force to examine the potential of sport to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

The Athens Roundtable Forum “Harnessing the Power of Sport for Development and Peace” focused on the engagement of governments, and the potential of sport to assist in the global fight against HIV/AIDS and the use of sport for peace. Discussions set the stage to address the specific policy potential of sport to achieve social, economic, health and development goals.
