Our Approach
Play for Peace is a group of people united by a dream of peace for our children—today and tomorrow—and guided by our mission and core values. Each of our communities creates the interventions most relevant to their needs and connects with the global learning community for learning, inspiration, and support. Quite simply, where Play for Peace exists, peace itself grows.
We unite communities, inspire compassion, and transform conflict into opportunities for connection.
Step #1: Play
Educational play sessions are led by trainers or facilitators, creating safe environments where people of all ages can experience the joy of play and a community that practices cooperation, inclusion, caring and fun.
Step #2: Lead
Local youth are then trained to lead their own cooperative play and community service sessions. Together with their mentor, they form a Play for Peace club to improve the lives of the local children, youth and adults in addition to practicing their new leadership skills.
Step #3: Thrive
New leaders are fostered to continue the cycle of peace within their community and in new regions around the world, promoting positive relationships across cultural, religious and other divides and continuously growing our global learning community.
