Basketball Creates World Peace
By MATT BRIONES, Video Intern
Immediately drawn by the word BASKETBALL, I was excited to see how the sport was capable of contributing to a cause. Inspired by the fundamentals of the game, Causecast user jdbasketball has used basketball to create a connection among today’s youth, in the hopes of promoting peace across the globe.
Reaching almost 15,000 kids in eight different countries, jdbasketball uses the game to encourage kids to reevaluate the way they think about their relationships with others and the environment that surrounds them. Through playing basketball, kids around the world are given the opportunity to connect with other kids from different backgrounds and cultures. I love how the video demonstrates the importance and simplicity of educating young people about how peace can come from mutual understanding. These kids are getting the opportunity to discover, first hand, that both on and off the court, we are all inherently connected.
