communities, and to discuss current global realities. Activities will
incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and discuss
the effects of war and violence on children and youth. Lesson sequences will be provided and explored
surrounding the Palestine-Israel Conflict, and Olympic Truce, which was
recently revived by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to emphasize the
role sport can play in building a more peaceful world.
