More about F4P Gambia
Since 2001, the University of Brighton have been operating a pioneering sport-based peace project named Football 4 Peace International (F4P). The key emphasis of F4P is the teaching and practical application of values – most notably neutrality; equity & inclusion; respect; trust; responsibility. These values are designed to help to resolve conflict and promote cross community relations among young people through sport-related activities and elements of outdoor education. Its aims are adapted for each place and space but its overarching objectives are:
1) provide opportunities for social contact across community boundaries
2) promote mutual understanding
3) engender in participants a desire for and commitment to peaceful coexistence
4) enhance sport-related skills, technical knowledge and life skills.
