| STRATEGIC APPROACH |
Our approach is focused on three main initiatives: a strong Internet presence, an active presence in schools and sports clubs, and maintaining a high visibility through our unique symbol.
Each year over 2 million people worldwide lose their lives to violence. This is the leading cause of death for people aged 15 – 40. For every young person killed an estimated 40 receive injuries that require hospital treatment. Violence places a massive burden on national economies costing countries billions of dollars each year.

Violence endangers the very basics of our society.
Our youth need to be inspired to understand that there are alternatives to violence. Attitudes have to be addressed within all areas of society; the family, the school, the work environment and through personal empowerment.
Young people are often faced with violence in different shapes. A lot of this violence happens in schools or on their free time in the community. We believe that adults, teachers, sports coaches, community leaders etc, have the responsibility to create a safe and creative environment for young people.
This is done most efficiently in collaboration with the youth. We can reduce violence with the involvement from the youth themselves. We need young leaders. They can make a difference and become important role models for change.

| FOR SPORTS COACHES |
As a sport coach or volunteer dedicating your time to the sport you love, you are vital in the grooming process of youth. Often the sports arena becomes a safe haven for young people and you are their role model. That's a huge responsibility. Sport has also grown to become extremely influential and it lies in the hands of the Sport Authorities to handle that situation with the utmost care.
Sport has for the above reasons become our second most important arena, where we can reach youth with inspirational education. Consequently we have tailored our program content to fit into a training schedule during a season. It requires you to invest 15 min of your training session to teach life skills. And believe us, it’s a great investment not only for the individuals it touches but for the team as well. You will be amazed how this will impact the result for the team.
As an introduction you can download Sports for Peace and acquaint yourself with the education format. If you sign up and join us at www.iobffp.com you will also get this package for free.
