Our Story
Play for Peace began as a bold vision in the late 1990s when co-founders Craig Dobkin and Michael Terrien dreamed of bringing peace to communities affected by conflict. From that spark, a global network of learners, leaders, and peacebuilders has grown — united in the belief that cooperative play can change the world.
