During my International Relations academic education, I was very passionate to study foreign languages and learn about human rights protection.
When I integrated the Peace and Sport team, I discovered how sport combines these two passions!

  • Sport is a universal language that brings people together and, as the Olympic Charter states, the practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and, through the values that sport transmit, become a better person and contribute to build more equal and inclusive societies!

    Today I raise my #WhiteCard to celebrate sport and the positive impact that it has on individuals and communities!
