Besides the football tournament, participating kids will be engaged in different educational activities held by the Nobel Peace Centre and Red Cross raising awareness of the importance of Peace and key elements behind the word Peace (tolerance, respect etc). Such activities include participation in School of Tolerance and a Peace Walk.”  He added that VIASAT will continue to support other equally beneficial initiatives such as the Peace United Football Tournament in the years to come.
