The Play for Peace Communications Team represents 16 countries, and they are passionate about helping to support our Play for Peace Clubs and expanding public awareness of our organization.
On Monday, we introduced you to our team of blog writers that have joined us to tell the many wonderful and powerful stories of personal, interpersonal, and community transformation occurring through the outreach of our Play for Peace Clubs. We also want to share those stories with a broader audience, beyond our own Global Learning Community. We now have a team focused on external communications that reflects the global nature of Play for Peace itself.
Recently, more than 20 new volunteers joined Play for Peace through the United Nations Volunteer program to help us share our vision, goals, and powerful stories with larger audiences, whom we hope will support our work. We have returned today to introduce you to the entire Play for Peace Communications Team, whose experience spans the fields of advertising, marketing, public relations, business, and development programming and measurement. They represent 16 countries, and they are passionate about helping to support our Play for Peace Clubs and expand public awareness of our organization.
Together with our existing volunteers, whose names are also included below, our new communications volunteers will help us deliver messages clearly and consistently, with compelling content that engages people and invites their support. We look forward to their work with us!
