The ARI Institute’s presentation was based on the principal that the purpose of sports games is to increase the children\u2019s bonding and unity, as well as codependence:<\/p>\n 1) Children learn through games more than by any other means.<\/p>\n 2) The games must connect the kids and not cause divisions.<\/p>\n 3) Competitiveness must be against the clock or other achievements, but not one against the other.<\/p>\n 4) Winning is only together and not on one’s own. The unity that is achieved is the real prize.<\/p>\n 5) Changing the rules of conventional games to make them about unity and bonding.<\/a>The ARI Institute participated in the International Conference on Sports for Development and Peace (ICSSPE), which took place at the Wingate Institute in Israel with participants from 32 countries, including a delegation of 30 from Jordan. The theme was Sport as a Mediator between Cultures.<\/strong>
