Elite Sports and Peace have a naturally symbiotic history in the ancient Olympics but are not necessarily symbiotic in today´s money and power games. Within “Peace Games”, every action of is explicitly designed to contribute to peace. Specifically, this means fostering values like fairness and solidarity, international understanding, cultural empathy, collective contagious joy and more.  Sports and other types of physical activity showcase and intensify these effects through physical and mental embodiment and provide for nonverbal and hence universal communication. Involving the aura of elite sports and idols finally lift these effects from a local impression to a global impact.  

- Events at participating sports performance centers and other partners on April 6, the International Day of Sports for Development in Peace adapted to local conditions and opportunities.
- Virtual bridging and interaction between the partners for one “global hour of sports for peace”
- "Elite athletes meets the Youth of the World” in various activities on May 16, the "International Day of Living Together in Peace" , in Munich
- Filming by Eurosport, broadcasts around the Olympic Games in Paris
- Further Post-processing and global promotion of activities and resulting messages.

After the initial pilot activities in 2024 it will be desirable to organize more related activities from elite sports stakeholders; annually on April 6 or on May 16, or at whatever other suitable occasion.
