The Sport for #OneHumanity campaign, spearheaded by UNAOC, aims to foster global unity by promoting the values of diversity, solidarity, and equality. By collaborating with ITVF, the campaign expands its reach through table volleyball—a sport that embodies accessibility, teamwork, and inclusivity for participants of all ages and abilities.
As part of this partnership, UNAOC and ITVF will work together to:
- Promote social inclusion by organizing joint events and initiatives in underserved communities.
- Raise awareness of the campaign’s core values through sports programs and educational workshops.
- Engage athletes, coaches, and fans worldwide to be ambassadors of unity and respect.
“This partnership with the International Table Volleyball Federation aligns perfectly with our mission to build bridges between cultures and foster understanding,” said Mr. Miguel Ángel Moratinos, High Representative for United Nations Alliance of Civilization. “Table volleyball’s accessibility and universal appeal make it a powerful tool for promoting the values of the Sport for #OneHumanity campaign.”
The collaboration will also feature special events, including tournaments and exhibitions, that emphasize the importance of inclusion and diversity in sports. These efforts aim to inspire communities to embrace the campaign’s values and work together toward a more peaceful and harmonious world.
“We are honored to partner with UNAOC on the Sport for #OneHumanity campaign,” said István Döbrei, Secretary-General of the International Table Volleyball Federation. “Table volleyball exemplifies the spirit of inclusivity and equality; we are thrilled to contribute to this global initiative, demonstrating that sports can unite us across boundaries and differences, regardless of age, gender and religion. We will work hard with UNAOC to create value through our new-generation volleyball-based sport in many countries and nations around the world.”
