In a nutshell

Peace and Sport is an international, neutral and independent organisation founded in 2007 by Olympic medallist and Modern Pentathlon World Champion Joël Bouzou.

Our call

We call on international decision-makers to deploy the intentional use of sport as a tool for peace, relying on its universality, on ‘role model’ athletes and on qualified educators.
