SDG 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice for all and build strong institutions at all levels

Only 10 countries in the world today are free from conflicts of any kind: this is what emerges from the UN Global Compact research analysing the situation in the various regions of the world afflicted, at various levels and with different nuances, by situations of political and social tensions, which can lead to violence and ungovernability.

According to the UN protocol, the solution to the persistent spread of these phenomena, in a crescendo of geopolitical escalations on a global level, would be to try to build peaceful and inclusive societies, capable of promoting sustainable development and encouraging good governance practices and respect for human rights.

The Peres Foundation represents excellence on an international level: it was founded with the aim of establishing a peaceful relationship between the peoples of the Middle East and supporting socio-economic development through cooperation programmes involving the various communities in the area. From economics to culture, from leadership to medicine, from sport as a model of inclusion to technology: the Peres centre implements programmes that concretely impact local populations through the work and participation of all, establishing lasting peace.

In Ramla, on the fields of Me’ir Binet, more than a hundred children play football, organised in mixed teams with the common objective of scoring a goal, the goal of peace: Twinned Peace, this is the name of the foundation’s sports school that is the subject of Guindani’s shots. So many young people from different nationalities united in a single multi-sport tournament that goes beyond all borders and educates to peace through the values and universal language of sport.
