Calm in the Midst of Conflict
Legend has it that there once was a king who announced an art contest. He invited all of the artists to create a painting about peace and the winner would win a prize.

Many refugees living in Musselkanaal will move to other camps. Some Play for Peace club members will relocate as well, being sure to take Play for Peace with them.

When the Dutch government announced that the camp in Musselkanaal must close, the community started a national campaign to keep it open.

This three-part series follows Play for Peace regional coordinator Katrin Hunemorder’s visit to our club at a refugee camp in Musselkanaal, Netherlands, a small northern town of 8,000 people.
