One hundred and twenty nations and peoples are represented in Oxford’s schools. Oxford is truly a world city.
To celebrate and help young people meet each other through sport, city councillor Graham Jones has invested discretionary funding into ‘scoping’ an Oxford World Cup soccer competition in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
It’s early days, but if you think you could help plan, sponsor, coach, referee, or encourage teams to enter, please let him know. The first task is to find out if the idea has ‘legs’.
Graham is proud of Oxford’s role as a city of world peace, from Oxfam through to the new Oxford Institute of Peace Studies. Among the charities he supports are Amnesty and the UN Association.

In the picture below he is talking with a protestor still camping in Tahrir Square, Cairo, when Graham visited Egypt with other Oxford Active Citizens in 2012.
