What has sport given you? Take
the opportunity to contact the Commonwealth Youth Sport for Development
and Peace Group to show the sports ministers that sport is a valued tool
in development and peace.
As the Commonwealth Games come to Glasgow, so do the Sport Ministers for the 7th Commonwealth Sports Ministers meeting. We, the Commonwealth Youth Sport for Development and Peace Working Group (CYSDP) will be presenting to Commonwealth sports ministers on the powerful role youth leadership plays in Sport for Development and Peace.
CYSDP
Established in May 2013, by the Commonwealth Secretariat, CYSDP is composed of 10 youth practitioners in the field of Sport for Development and Peace who have demonstrated a commitment to putting young people at the centre of sustainable development.
The campaign
We know that Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) is a powerful enabler of youth leaders, coaches, mentors and volunteers, helping us to gain valuable skills and competencies allowing us to contribute to society and develop leaders in our own communities. In our role to be the leading and driving voice for youth towards promoting best practices in sport for development and peace, we want to highlight the value of sport in advancing youth development to the Sports Ministers and ensure:
‘Young people should be central to all levels of decision making in order to maximise the contribution of sport to youth empowerment and development’
(CYSDP- 4th Commonwealth Sports Development Conference, Glasgow, August 2013)
We would like to represent the diverse range of young people in the Commonwealth who understand, support and value SDP and we need your input!
