Center For Sport, Peace, And Society - University Of Tennessee

Description

• Our empowerment philosophy at the Center for Sport, Peace, and Society is simple. We want to expose, equip, engage, and entrust local and global audiences to use sport to make a positive difference. The work of the Center is grounded in more than 20 years of international sports development experience, using sport to promote empowerment and peace-building in some of the most volatile post-conflict and post-disaster regions of the world. The Center also works locally in East Tennessee, creating sports and physical activity opportunities for a growing number of refugees, immigrants, and underserved youth. Since 2012, the Center has administered a multi-million-dollar U.S. Department of State initiative, the Global Sports Mentoring Program (previously Empowering Women and Girls through Sports), that has allowed us to host more than 300 women and girls from more than 60 countries on sports-based exchanges, which has inspired the University of Tennessee campus and bridged a number of new interdisciplinary partnerships. Since 2016, the GSMP has consisted of two five-week mentorship-based exchange programs focused on empowering women and people with disabilities through sports.
