Children, youth and adults living in some of the world's most divided communities are becoming peacebuilders, leaders, and bridge-builders. This is what that looks like.
Quite simply, where Play for Peace exists, peace itself grows.
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.

Play is a universal way for people to come together and learn. It creates a gateway to moments when differences are celebrated, friendships are created, and we see what connects us rather than what divides us. We use play as an experiential learning tool and a catalyst for inspiring people from different cultures to reach across barriers and boundaries. When ready, groups move "beyond play" and begin to include community service learning, effectively solving community issues together.

Play is a universal gateway to moments when differences dissolve, friendships form, and we see what connects us rather than what divides us. We use it as an experiential learning tool that inspires people across cultures to reach beyond barriers. And when communities are ready, play becomes something even bigger: a catalyst for solving real problems together.

Our model is simple but powerful. Rooted in experiential education, a global learning community of volunteers, mentors, and partner organizations works with youth leaders and children to play, apply learning, and reflect together. The result: compassionate citizens, friendships across divides, and thriving communities.
