"Physical Education and Sports should promote an understanding among nations and individual human beings and should lead to competition, solidarity, fraternality, mutual respect and appreciation of an untouchable dignity of all human beings."
(Int. Charta for PE and Sports, UNESCO 1998)
The UN declared the year 2005 as the International Year of Sports and PE. - The aims of the year are:
| Fit | to promote health - to create space for exercise / movement - to secure healthy nutrition as prerequisite for doing sports |
| For Peace | to reinforce cultural values and to establish common values - to create a culture of peace - to promote social balance - to support dialogue and cooperation |
| Fair | to learn fair play in doing sports and games - to promote social values for cooperation - to promote equality of gender - to improve the social climate in schools and neighbourhoods |
| For ONE World | to overcome borders - to create opportunities - to understanding - to contribute to the realization of the internationally negotiated goals of development , e.g., by fair trade of sports equipment |
Sports can play an important role in improving the lives of individuals and entire societies. I am convinced the time has come to build on this knowledge and to support governments, organizations of foreign aid and communities in thinking about how sports can be integrated more systematically into plans of helping children - especially those who are surrounded by poverty , disease and conflict.

The ASP wants to contribute to
- a sustainable improvement of communication among people, cultures and nations in the spirit of fair play.
This requires that we
- use existing experience in dealing with the theme "Sports" at schools
- uphold the aims of the UNESCO Charta for PE and Sports
- include our partner schools within and outside our countries and integrate all ASP schools worldwide into our Project Day activities
- cooperate with extracurricular partner organizations like sports clubs, associations and ONE-World-initiatives.
This includes activities like
- playing fair in ONE World, e.g. streetfootball tournaments based on special rules, played with fair trade (www.streetfootballworld.org; www.fairplay-fairlife.de)
- putting together an intercultural collection of games from contributions by schools (www.ups-schulen.de)
Strengthening the network
- to have a broad public effect, schools get in touch with local and regional extracurricular institutions and carry out mutual events together on that Project Day
- so that the results of this project - oriented work during the school year of 2005/ 06 will be presented to the public on April 26th, 2006.

*Twenty years after Chernobyl - Our tradition:
The international ASP Project Days were initiated on the occasion of an activity whose participants wanted to show their solidarity - 10 years after the nuclear incident in Chernobyl on April 26th, 1996. Almost 20 years after the nuclear incident more than 2 mio people still live in the highly contaminated parts of Belarus. Resulting from the fall-out there are still deformities, leukaemia and tyroid gland cancer.
We recommend the project "The Future after Tchernobyl" to those schools that want to help. People living in the contaminated zone and volunteers from Germany set up residential clay buildings in the north of Belarus constructed ecologically. (www.heimstatt-tschernobyl.com)
We participate
International partner schools will be invited by their German ASPnet schools.
Further schools from all over the world, please contact www.ups-schulen.de
You can also contact bundeskoordination-ups-bonn@asp.unesco.de.
The German ASPnet schools asks all schools, educational institutions and organizations worldwide to participate in the 6th International Project Day, April 26th, 2006, with actions, events and projects.
