Eric Nzohabonayo, 35 years old, is teaching at Nyabigina high school, Makamba province, Burundi. After school, he leads weekly peace-through-sport activities for children in the framework of Peace and Sport Methodology.

  • “I believe that sharing positive values especially non-violence and respect through sport is very important but it is also very appropriate because, through sport, young people learn in a playful atmosphere and with greater motivation. Young people who adhere to the methodology start to behave better and are less violent and more respectful than others.”

After several experiences in development and human rights NGOs in France, Lebanon, Palestine and Morocco as projects, research, communication and advocacy officer, I work now on the topic of sport as a tool to promote peace at Peace and Sport.
