About us
Laureus is a global sports-based charity that works to improve the lives of young people. The first Patron of Laureus was Nelson Mandela. At the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000, President Mandela said: “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.” This has become the philosophy of Laureus and the driving force behind its work. Laureus combines Laureus Sport for Good, the Laureus World Sports Academy and Ambassadors Programme and the Laureus World Sports Awards to form a unique organisation that uses the inspirational power of sport as a force for good.

'I'd like to install gender equality in sports' On United Nations International Day of the Girl Child, hear the dream of a participant from PARIS BASKET 18. Working with H&M Move, Laureus supports Paris Basket 18 through the Sport for Good City Paris initiative, which seeks to empower women and girls by increasing opportunities for them to take part in sport activities, sometimes for the first time. Learn more about Sport for Good City Paris here: https://lnkd.in/e5DnU2UY #SportForGood
Today, October 11, marks the International Day of the Girl Child, declared by the United Nations. This year’s theme is ‘Girls’ vision for the future’ and conveys both the need for urgent action and persistent hope, driven by the power of girls’ voices and vision for the future. Earlier this year H&M Move entered a partnership with Laureus Sport for Good in Paris as part of its community program Move Together. One of the local organisations supported through this 2-year collaboration is PARIS BASKET 18, a female-only basketball club that supports over 3.500 young women and girls to improve their basketball skills as well as providing them with educational support. Professional AC-Milan footballer and H&M Brand Mover Nadia Nadim met with some of the girls and had a chat about their dreams for the future. “Listening to these girls was amazing and I truly hope I inspired them to chase their own dreams – wherever they are and however they move,” says Nadia Nadim. #HM #HMMove #MoveTogetherHoweverYouMove #SportForGood
