Description:... The Report on the International Year of Sport and Physical Education (IYSPE) 2005 provides an inventory of programmes and initiatives from around the world that took place within the framework of the International Year. IYSPE 2005 was used as a platform to bring the world's attention to the role sport plays in society and on how sport and physical education can be used to reach development objectives, such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). IYSPE 2005 ensured sport and physical education were recognised as important tools for improving public health and as a universal language that can bridge social, religious, racial and gender differences. The book highlights activities in: over 100 United Nations member States; 16 United Nations funds, programmes and specialised agencies; 28 sports organisations; and 33 governmental and non-governmental agencies.
