UNESCO's International Day of University Sport, officially proclaimed on November 13, 2015, and celebrated annually on September 20, is a day dedicated to recognizing the role and value of sports in higher education.
The initiative, led by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), aims to promote sports to create a bridge between universities and their local communities, fostering peace and well-being.
The day's celebration aligns with UNESCO's broader goals of supporting physical education and sports to promote health, education, development, and peace. It underscores the power of university sports to enhance student experiences, contribute to academic achievements, foster diversity, and improve social inclusion and gender equality.
The purpose of the International Day of University Sport is multifaceted: it encourages universities to celebrate the importance of sports in education by organizing sporting, cultural, and educational activities. These activities unite students, university staff, and local community members to participate in and enjoy sports, strengthen community ties, and promote healthy lifestyles.
The day includes worldwide events focusing on sports competitions, workshops, forums, and community outreach programs.
