PLAY for PEACE

Our Stories

Stories from the ground, in the voices of the people living them.

Play for Peace® works in 22 countries with children and youth from communities in conflict, using cooperative play to build the trust, empathy, and connection that peace requires. The stories collected here come directly from the field: from facilitators in India, youth leaders in the Netherlands, trainers in Kenya, and community members across the globe who are living proof that play changes things.
