On April 6, 2025, the world community celebrated the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, initiated in 2013 by the United Nations together with the International Olympic Committee.
Sports competitions serve as a unifying factor for different countries of the world. In sports, neither origin nor religion nor skin colour nor financial wealth matter. Only strength of spirit, perseverance and tireless work are important to become a winner. Sport is a peaceful event that encourages only friendly relations between different countries.
In addition, on the initiative of Peace and sport, a flash mob White card is held around the world. A photo with a white card in hand is a symbolic action in contrast to a red card, which means the most serious violation committed by an athlete. Each of us can show a white card for the sake of peace and tranquillity in the world. Students and teachers of the National University of Pharmacy took part in this initiative.
The event was organized by the Department of Physical Rehabilitation and Health of the National University of Pharmacy. The seminar was attended by more than 17 participants, scientists, scientific and pedagogical workers and students. Reports were presented on topical issues of sport and peace.
