International focus to peace building, but there is also a strong focus on local community building within schools.

Our researchers identified the capacity of sport to provide the catalyst to intervene where cultural conflict exists. We were involved in the World Sports Peace Project in 2001 which developed into the Football for Peace (F4P) initiative. Essentially, our research established the principles of ‘values-based coaching’, which crucially underpin the programme and still guide the delivery of F4P today.
