Welcome to South Africa

The Power of Youth and Sports for Peace and Development

Sport is an extraordinary vehicle for bringing people together and offers precious opportunities to emphasize values too often clouded in our modern society. Sport, in its many forms, has a large potential to promote physical and mental well-being, overcome cultural divides, build community, and advance peace and the common good. Sport highlights what humanity shares and what can be achieved in an inclusive environment. Throughout the world, young people are embracing sport as a tool to help reach personal, community, national and International development objectives as well as address some of the challenges that arise from humanitarian crises in both conflict and post-‐conflict settings.

Sport is recognised by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as an important tool in helping to achieve the UN’s goals for development and peace programmes. In September 2015, the United Nations formally adopted a new sustainable development agenda to build on the work already done by the Millennium Development Goals. 17 new goals focus on ending poverty and extreme hunger and tackling climate change, among other global issues. With 2015 as a year of global action, this year’s Summit resonates with the new Sustainable Development Goals, resonating with the goals of ensuring healthy lives, education and understanding, and inclusion, especially of women and children. Our aim is to inspire the Young Leaders present to take forward actions which will help to achieve these goals.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.” - Nelson Mandela

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon points to sport as an important tool in achieving the UN’s goals for development and peace. In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted a new sustainable development agenda. It builds on achievements of the Millennium Development Goals. Seventeen goals focus on ending poverty and extreme hunger, tackling climate change, and working for peace. Creative partnerships are a centerpiece. With 2015 as a year of global action, this year’s Summit resonates with the Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the potential for promoting education and understanding, fosteringinclusion, and promoting healthy and fulfilling lives. Our aim is to inspire the Young Leaders present, and others around the world, to expand their dreams and work in ways that contribute to these global aspirations.

World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development

Dr Haruhisa HandaChairman of Worldwide Support for Development and the International Sports Promotion Society

On behalf of Worldwide Support for Development and the International Sports Promotion Society, please allow me to welcome you to beautiful Cape Town, South Africa and the 2015 World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development.

BBC Sports Editor David Bond has argued that South Africa’s gift to the world, Nelson Mandela, “may have been the first global leader to use sport as a tool to unite people and to redefine a country's international image.”

Mandela observed how futbol matches in his Robben Island prison united members of the African National Congress, and he came to see the great symbolic power of sport, using it as a vehicle to tackle and reframe racial challenges. His real triumph came in his courageous gestures of unity amidst the 1995 Rugby World Cup hosted and won by a newly united South Africa (see adjoining photo and caption).

This is one of the key reasons we selected Cape Town for this fourth annual Summit. It is a beacon of hope and courage to the world. It is also why I have made a personal investment in this community by sponsoring both the Mpumalanga Black Aces Football Club and the Fives Futbol. Both of these outfits are inspiring the best of the human spirit through their unique approach to sport.

The Summits each focus on the crucial and extraordinary role that sport can play in human life. Sport brings disparate peoples together and helps to advance cooperation, development, and even peace.

The athletes and leaders who have gathered here in Cape Town bring direct experiences of what can be achieved. With each Summit we seek to learn from promising practices and to determine what we might still yet achieve together in advancing the valuable role that sport can have in modern society. The Summit allows us to look at the challenges and barriers and to discover the beautiful opportunities for human progress that lie within them.

For the common love of sport, let us share, feel, think, and dream together in these days of conferencing with one another.

The subject of the 2009 Hollywood film Invictus, featuring Morgan Freeman andMatt Damon, the powerful image of Mandela, sporting a Springbok jersey and handing the Rugby World Cup to Francois Pienaar, helped unite an apartheid-

torn nation and arrested the world’s attention.

Katherine MarshallExecutive Director of the World Faiths Development Dialogue and Visiting Professor, Georgetown University

A warm welcome to you, inspired leaders from different continents, institutions, and sectors, young and not so young. The ideals and values that sports exemplify echo those we aspire to as we work for a peaceful, flourishing world: excellence, equity, teamwork, and joy. We hope that we can grapple over the next few days with how to turn ideals and values into reality, and thus point the sponsoring institutions towards exciting new ideas and programs. We look to you for inspiration, challenges, and bold new paths forward.

Welcome to all of you who are attending this year’s Summit in Cape Town. I am delighted that the University of Edinburgh has become a partner in the Summit. The University is not only renowned for its academic excellence, but takes great pride in its athletic achievements. It has helped countless students achieve their sporting ambitions.

Sir Timothy O’SheaPrincipal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh

Max PriceVice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Town

This will be the first time that the World Sports Values Summit will be held on the continent of Africa. We are delighted that it will happen in South Africa and that the University of Cape Town will welcome you on behalf of the rest of the continent.

This event brings together Young Leaders, Athletes, Experts and Distinguished Guests from around the world to promote the goal set out in the Olympic Charter: ‘to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport.’ We encourage you over the next few days to think of ways together we can achieve this goal and sustainable peace and development by harnessing the power of youth and sport.

2015 Handa Sports and Human Development Fellowship

In 2014, the World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development launched a Fellowship programmeto encourage young leaders to pursue their commitments and dreams to connect sport, peace and development. A select group of up to five young leaders attending the Summit will receive a grant to either begin new research and project or to progress current development programs.

The goal of the Fellowship programme is to help translate the Summit’s core values of sport for peace and development into practice. They will support creative ways to enhance sport’s impact on positive cultural, social, and political change in different world regions, but especially in poor and conflict-affected countries.

Lord Colin Moynihan, Dr Katherine Marshall and Professor Grant Jarvie will serve as program mentors and, in collaboration with the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, will review young leader proposals and oversee the development of the initiative.

Mike Tindall and Peter Phillips are Ambassadors and will work alongside the mentors and young leaders. The first Handa Fellows will be announced at the Summit in Cape Town and we look forward to hearing how their projects will improve the network and knowledge base of young leaders working in sport for peace and development.

History: The Inaugural Summit

The Olympic Values Symposium, London 2012

The Olympic Values Symposium held in London in June 2012 was the launch of a series of annualevents that highlight the role of sport in achieving global goals. It addressed three overarching themes: the meaning of Olympic values in the twenty-first century; how to realize them more effectively in sport at the Games and beyond; and how to leverage them for broader goals, nationally and internationally, including for human rights and peace.

Participants stressed the importance of clarifying the definition of the three core Olympic Values —

Excellence, Respect, and Friendship — and their relevance to sport and beyond.

Excellence encompasses not only athletic talent, but also a host of other human traits, including discipline, concentration, and effort. It is not about winning but about giving one’s all in pursuit of worthy goals such as professional success and service to others.

Respect includes regard for the rules of the game as well as human qualities of empathy, compassion, and understanding. It goes beyond fair play to encompass identification with and care for the other.

Friendship is a bond of trust and affection that transcends respect. The team pursuit of a shared goal, both inside and outside the sporting context, is a powerful forge of friendship; interaction with rivals can also generate mutual affection over time.

Each of these values resonates beyond the world of sport. But they are only Olympic values to the extent that the athletes, the organizers, and the Olympic Movement itself exemplify them before, during and after the Games. By better articulating and living up to its ideals, the Olympic Movement can create a more effective global platform for their realization in other domains.

In a global essay contest held in May 2012, 265 students from 61 countries shared their ideas about Olympic values and how to realize them through sport, culture, education, and other public initiatives. Prior to the Olympic Games the best essays were posted on the Olympic Values Symposium website:

History: The Second Summit

The World Sports Values Summit For Peace, Tokyo 2013

A second event was held in Tokyo in July 2013, the World Sports Values Summit for Peace. This Summit emphasized the key principles of Respect, Excellence, and Friendship drawn from the Olympic tradition and emphasized their alignment with Japanese cultural values. As at the London Symposium, a resounding theme was the resilience and commitment of celebrated athletes. The honesty and firm resolve of Japan’s people as they responded to the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis served as an inspiration and offered a central theme as Japan reflected on the values underlying its bid to host the 2020 Olympics. The World Sports Values Summit for Peace produced theTokyo Declaration which highlighted the following important ideas and recommendations:

- More can and should be done to link sport, peace and development to the Olympic values of respect, excellence and friendship and the Japanese values of inclusion, resilience and harmony;

- Respect should be at the heart of the sports movement: respect for families, respect for our communities, respect for our teammates, respect for our opponents, respect for other cultures and nationalities, and respect for ourselves;

- The energy, expertise, and enthusiasm of women athletes should be translated into the involvement of more women at all levels of sport administration;

- We need to move to a world where there is universal access to sport for women and a world which is inspired by successful, confident, and courageous sportswomen;

- Barriers to engage in sport should be eliminated and opportunities for those with disabilities should be promoted;

- The Special Olympics and the Paralympic Games have a far-reaching impact which can unleash the human spirit, unify society, and promote inclusiveness and excellence;

- Once applies to athletes and non-athletes alike. Governments should encourage sports as a means to achieve personal excellence;

- The education system is the most comprehensive way to reach young people; governments should increase their support for the development of quality physical education and sport for all;

- No tool is as powerful as sport to inspire and open opportunities for young people in the world’s poorest communities;

- The Olympic Truce offers enormous potential, which, so far, has been largely unrealized. Sporting events can help to bridge differences in conflict zones;

- If sport is the first pillar of Olympism, culture should be the second. More should be done to develop the link between sport and culture through cultural exchanges and opportunities to promote the diversity of cultures;

- Through sport, all opportunities should be taken to embrace culture, education, and environmental sustainability.

History: The Third Summit

World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development, New York 2014 The United Nations in New York was the venue for the third summit. It explored the translation of ideals embodied in sports and the practical promise that projects around the world have shown into broader and deeper programs. The summit reflected a partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC). It was hosted by the International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS), Worldwide Support for Development (WSD), and the World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD).

The Third Summit featured young leaders and athletes, as included a rich, multi-‐sector group of academic, sport, political, and thought leaders. Dr. Handa announced a new fellowship for the young leaders . The summit, as the third in the series of annual events, made important contributions to the global discourse on ideas and recommendations.

- Sports speak to timeless human values and even today the Olympic Games inspire individuals to realize their highest potential and the beauty of teamwork. The Olympic movement is linked tightly to the concept of peace, and initiatives like the Olympic Truce, provide respite and hope for fragile societies.

- Major Games can leave a unique legacy that reflects the host country’s culture and finest values. Everyone (governments, governing bodies, local communities, athletes and support-ers) should contribute to and be responsible for the games’ legacy.

- The Special Olympics and the Paralympics highlight the diversity that is essential for human achievement and development, and The 2012 Olympic Games were the first fully integrat-ed games, although issues remain around unequal funding and support.

- Sports values and the practical benefits of sports should be seen as an integral part of the discourse about development. It is about far more than

increasing incomes. The joy, pride, excitement and beauty of sport makes it a powerful force for good.

- Sport engenders a sense of belonging for the outcast and provides channels for rehabilitation. It supports and engages marginalized groups such as child soldiers reintegrate into society. Sport does not always provide a direct link to peace-‐ building. It can be divisive, especially in areas of rising nationalism. Even so, sports can play important roles in establishing the framework for peace and in sustaining it.

- Sport is a powerful educational tool that can help change mindsets and break down barriers that sometimes stop people from living in harmony. Sport teaches leadership and cooperative skills and can instill respect for a rules-based society, which is important for conflict prevention.

Finally, from the third Summit it was particularly clear that young leaders accept no limits and can show what can, and must, be done to achieve change. The group of young people emerging from the Summits is committed to building a network for the future, contributing to new ways of thinking, and helping to keep sports values alive.

Panel Sessions

Panel Session 1 Sports Values at the Heart of Sports Governance

Global sport governance issues – challenging the governance of large global organisations and events. The management of sport, at local, national, and international levels, will reflect core values of the organizations involved. Transparency and integrity are vital. The session will explore issues, recent experience, and priorities looking ahead.

1

Government sport policies: successes and room to improve.2

Focus on finance: ensuring coherence between sports values and management of sport.

3

Panel Session 2 Sport and Development:The Transformative Power of Sport

How have governments fulfilled their role in delivering sports legacies from major games? What are the experiences in different countries?

Through public funding, governments can use their influence to drive policies against discrimination, demand greater accountability and transparency and promote policies to deliver health agendas. Do they rise to this challenge?

Sport initiatives in poor communities (public sponsored and grassroots initiatives). 1

Sport initiatives in conflict situations.2

Sport initiatives to address specific social barriers such as gender and disability.3

How can sport programs in refugee situations and conflicted societies contribute still more to peacebuilding?

Sport has great potential to help break down barriers of race, class/social position, disability, religion, and gender and, more positively, to contribute to building peaceful, inclusive societies. We will look at examples of working through sport to build communities, address the challenge of marginalized groups and explore impact on identity.

How can the many grassroots initaitives, especially those initiated by young leaders, better “add up” to broader policies and approaches.

Panel Session 3 Sport as Social Capital

Universities and sport.1

Sport, Education and community.2

Sustaining the promise of major world games.3

Sports personalities can lead by example or wield the influence they hold through their sporting achievement and celebrity to promote positive messages about health and education. Sport canplay major roles in health campaigns, encouraging people to lead healthier lives. They can raise the aspirations of young people and show them (and their communities) the benefits of education.

Major games also can inspire people to live healthier lives. Major world games such as the Olympics, World Cups and Commonwealth Games have a mixed history when it comes to living up to their promise. What have we learnt from recent games and what are we doing to ensure that lessons from successful examples are shared.

How can public and private policy initiatives can draw on the power of sport: universities, celebrities,inspirational young people, and engaged citizens, to advance values of social harmony?

Greg Searl

On 2nd August 1992 Greg won gold in Barcelona aged 20. He competed with his older brother Jonny and cox Garry Herbert. When Garry called “If not now, when?” the Searle brothers moved the pace on and won what has been described by coaches and commentators as the greatest rowing race of all time. In 2009 Greg came back out of retirement and set himself the vision of winning a second gold on 2nd August 2012 to inspire a new generation. Greg started all over again as a 40-year old man and joined a team of 7 other younger team-mates. The dream nearly came true at Eton Dorney, when in the fi nal 750m the British crew took the lead but despite enormous home support couldn’t hold off the previously unbeaten German crew and eventually hung on to win bronze.

Whilst disappointed not to win, Greg is well aware of the huge contrast a few centimetres make over a 2km rowing course. He fi nished in 4th place at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the experience of coming away with nothing tangible has made him all the more appreciative of the success he enjoyed as part of TeamGB last summer. He also recognises success is measured beyond numbers of medals. Having spent 15 years as an executive and team performance coach, Greg had the self-awareness to know how to fulfil his potential in London 2012. He was able to change, not wait for others; to work better with others and be less egocentric; to seek to understand team mates and grow trusting relationships and to sign up to team strategy despite having other ideas.

At the University of Edinburgh’s Academy of Sport, sport is recognised as a route to excellence in research, education and advocacy. Through our participation in the World Sports Values Summit we aim to further the part that sport can play as a resource of hope, influence and fostering effective international cultural relations.

Building upon a remarkable sporting heritage at The University of Edinburgh, our fundamental aim is to be a gathering place for the worlds of sport to meet in order to make a difference today. Two premises guide our work: that sport has a part to play in addressing the challenges that face humanity in the 21st century and to be visible, serving communities locally and globally. This provides a supportive climate for our students, researchers, fellows and partners.

The World Faiths Development Dialogue

The World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD) is inspired by an ambitious objective: bettering the quality of development work through specific, action-focused insights into poverty and equity challenges. It does this by building knowledge and strengthening partnerships and dialogue among different sectors and disciplines that engage with issues of human development, social justice, and building peace. WFDD works to bridge gulfs that have long divided secular and religious communities. The vision is to facilitate active participation of faith communities in the strategic reflection and planning processes on which development programs are based. WFDD was established in the year 2000, following high level consultations led by James D. Wolfensohn, then President of the World Bank, and Lord Carey of Clifton, then Archbishop of Canterbury, with religious and secular leaders. The goal was for communities of development and faith to work purposefully together to end poverty and build lasting peace. Initially a UK charity, WFDD is now based in Washington, D.C. as an independent not-for-profit organization (501 (c) 3), housed at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University. Dr. Haruhisa Handa was a founding trustee and has engaged with and supported WFDD throughout its fifteen year history. WFDD works on diverse issues that include, for example, major health challenges like HIV and AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Ebola, and maternal health, water and sanitation, fighting corruption, addressing gender bias, and energy access. Analytic work and dialogue address root causes of conflict (for example conflicts around extractive industries) and faith-inspired peacebuilding. WFDD has pioneered work to “map” the engagement of faith-inspired actors on wide ranging development issues and to advance both faith and development literacy. Active partnerships include the US Institute of Peace, the Hewlett Foundation, the Henry R. Luce Foundation, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, KAICIID, UNFPA, the University of Cambodia, the German Government’s GIZ, and the World Bank. WFDD’s current work program includes intensive work in Bangladesh, Kenya, Senegal, Guatemala, and Cambodia. Publications include country reports, policy briefs, analytic reviews of leading development issues, and books. Recent publications by Katherine Marshall (Executive Director) include Women, Religion, and Peacebuilding: Illuminating the Unseen (with Susan Hayward, 2015 USIP publication), and Global Institutions of Religion: Ancient Movers, Modern Shakers (Routledge, 2013).
