The Barbados Olympic Association Inc., and the National Olympic Academy in collaboration with the Pinelands Creative Workshop will be hosting a Sports Day event to commemorate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. The event will be take place on April 6 at the Parkinson Playing field.
The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace was conceptualized to highlight the importance sport plays to the development of a society both physically and socially, as well as to promote the impact sport plays to the bringing of communities together in an effort to promote peace. Annually, April 6 is designated as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace and will be celebrated worldwide.
This initiative to partner with the Pinelands Creative Workshop, seeks to solidify the support the BOA Inc. has for using sport as a catalyst for social development and change. The days activities will comprise Athletics and 2 Soccer matches. National Federations are all welcome to bring along a group or Team to register to take part in the days activities.
