ADVOCACY
Laureus is now a significant and loud voice in the sport
for development world. Laureus World Sports Academy
Members, by nature of their success, are able to open doors
and make governments and opinion makers listen. In 2012
and 2013 we saw initiatives promoting the use of sport,
taking place around the world: Laureus representatives
presented research and opinion for discussion on Capitol
Hill in Washington, the UK House of Commons in London
and at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Rio de Janeiro.
RESEARCH
Laureus published seven research articles in 2012 in
partnership with universities and other centres of sport
science excellence around the world. This comes on the back
of ground-breaking Laureus-funded research reports such
as the Teenage Kicks and Sport Scores which showed that
community sports projects are highly cost effective when it
comes to tackling community challenges and can provide
governments and tax payers with significant returns.
Laureus is more than ever committed to helping young
people to transform their lives through the positive power of
sport, now and in the future.
There are countless examples of young people whose lives
have been changed by attending a Laureus-supported
programme, giving them a new direction, greater confidence
and self-esteem and the chance to stay out of trouble or
increase their chances of employment. This makes me, and
my fellow Academy members very proud.
