How we're supporting our programmes during the Covid-19 pandemic


In these challenging times of uncertainty brought about by the global Covid-19 pandemic, we want to use our platform to spread key messages and helpful information to support the Laureus family and wider communities.

In an effort to share knowledge, learnings and best practice we will use this page to share information as well as toolkits, resources and advice from our programmes and the sector. Over the coming days and weeks, this page will be updated with key learnings as the sport for development community around the world unites in the worldwide effort to combat Covid-19.

On the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, we hosted three online webniars, one in each of the following regions: Americas, EMEA, APAC, to demonstrate the power of sport. See webinars below.

Humanitarian action

We would like to encourage any sport or sport for development organisation who wish to support the response against Covid 19 to connect with an experienced humanitarian agency or the relevant ministry or department in your country. Without the required humanitarian skillset and experience, engaging in humanitarian action can do more harm than good. We include links to some of the leading international humanitarian organisations:


In the complex set of international standards on humanitarian action, the response refer to mainly two sections: Global standards on Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion, and Health.


Education

Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies collate resources to support organisations and education centers, with particular focus on distance learning, alternative education, psychosocial support, and more.
