When Everyone is Invited, Everybody Wins!
Play for Peace is a community of over 2,000 people spanning 40+ countries who are, right now, creating a more peaceful world. Anyone who believes in our mission and is guided by our core values is invited to get involved, support and promote our work so that everyone, including the many communities we impact, wins as a result.
Our Global Learning Community
Through Play for Peace, children, youth, adults, and organizations around the world have a platform to come together and create powerful, meaningful interactions. These individuals are transformed into architects and leaders of peace, and with the support of our global facilitators and ongoing learning opportunities, can unify their communities. Together we contribute to a more peaceful world.
We believe that...
- anyone can be an architect, builder and leader for peace
- every community has the resources needed to create and sustain peace
