Los deportes tradicionales como ejemplo de cohesión social: el proyecto

RePlay

WHY this project?

• The role of sport in society has been debated for many decades

• Sport is a part of society as both an educational fixture and an entertainment enterprise Sport forms part of human and social development It can contribute to social cohesion, tolerance and integration It is an effective channel for physical and socio-economic

development As a universal language, sport can be a powerful medium for social

and economic change It can be utilized to bridge cultural gaps, resolve conflict and educate

people in ways that very few other activities can

WHY this project?

• "Traditional Sports and Games (TSG) are part of Intangible Heritage and a symbol of the cultural diversity of our societies" (UNESCO, 1989) The preservation and promotion of TSG is a fundamental

contribution for the valorisation of such an important and essential field for the Intangible Cultural Heritage They have constituted added value in terms of cultural comprehension

and mutual tolerance both within the community of nations and between them, and therefore contribute to the edification of a culture of Peace Most of the TSG, themselves expressions of indigenous cultures and ways

of life contributing to the common identity of humanity, have already disappeared and those that survive are under threat of imminent disappearance and extinction under the combined effect of globalization and harmonization of the rich diversity of world Sports Heritage
