Civil Diplomacy and Sports Diplomacy: Shared Values
Beyond competition, sporting events can create opportunities for dialogue, international connections and cooperation between people from different professional and cultural backgrounds.
In this context, Humanitarian Civil Diplomacy promotes social responsibility, ethical leadership and cooperation, while Sports Diplomacy encourages mutual understanding through sport.
For Jethro International, participating in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Ibérica I for a second consecutive year reinforces the importance of connecting people through shared values and humanitarian commitment.
