The Play for Peace Club Program was born out of a profound need to address rising social tensions and conflicts worldwide. Founded on the belief that play is a universal language, Play for Peace aims to use cooperative play to bridge divides, build friendships, and foster lasting peace. This program is inspired by the transformative power of experiential learning and the critical role youth play in shaping the future.
Our methodology integrates social-emotional learning with community service, allowing youth to experience firsthand the impact of compassion and collaboration. By training young leaders to facilitate play sessions and lead community projects, we empower them to create inclusive environments where differences are celebrated.
Participants in the program gain leadership and facilitation skills and become part of a global community of changemakers. This network provides ongoing support, resources, and opportunities for growth. Our impact is evident, with 97% of participants reporting increased joy and hope and 92% feeling more compassionate.
Starting a Play for Peace Club means investing in a brighter, more peaceful future. It’s an opportunity to be part of a movement that transforms lives and communities through the simple yet profound act of play. Join us in creating a world of laughter, compassion, and peace.
