It also has a significant impact on the quality of our lives, not to mention the benefits sport has on our development starting from our early  age.

For the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace we came up with a particularly difficult but fun task, that helped  us recognize the huge impact sport has on so many lives all around the globe. We wanted you to sum up what sport means to you in only one word and share your video message with everyone over Social  Media.

In the spirit of this campaign, we opened new playgrounds for children in Srbobran, Stara Pazova, Gornji Milanovac and Novi Becej.  Many sporting activities, mini tournaments and similar events took place during the grand opening of the playgrounds. We hope that all of the boys and girls from these kindergartens  truly enjoyed playing and practicing various sports, socializing with their peers and making new friends.

Take a look at what others shared, and enjoy the video with everyone of us in the leading role.  Play sports and believe in yourself, just like we believe in you!
