Every year, on 24 January, educators and students around the world mark the International Day of Education. The global observance proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly aims to raise awareness about the role education plays in peace and development around the world. For its part, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), which is responsible for delivering the infrastructure and legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, has placed an emphasis on education throughout its work – notably through Josoor

Two FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ legacy programmes teamed up with UNESCO to host a webinar about the soft power of sports diplomacy. Titled ‘Introduction to Sports Diplomacy: From Concept to Practice’, the webinar was organised by Josoor Institute and Generation Amazing, in collaboration with the UNESCO Office for the Gulf States and Yemen, to provide a platform for sharing a global perspective on using the power of sport to advance national goals. The event featured contributions from politicians, diplomats and football legends.
