PETTER SOLBERG THE FIRST GLOBAL AMBASSADOR FOR GENERATIONS FOR PEACE
The Generations for Peace program was initiated by His Royal Highness Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan to inspire greater tolerance and understanding around the world. The program brings together youth leaders from divided communities and trains them to help unite children through sport. They return to their communities to implement what they’ve learned.
Before the start of the inaugural Jordan Rally WRC in April 2008, Petter Solberg of the Subaru World Rally Team was announced as the first Global Ambassador for Generations for Peace.
