About

Play for Peace was founded on a core belief that few things can provide a common link between people like laughter and play. Through cooperative play, we have a universal and non-threatening platform around which people can come together and learn. Play creates a gateway to moments when differences dissolve, fear melts away, and we see what connects us rather than what divides us.

The Play for Peace experience helps communities around the world shift from a place of isolation, fear and violence into a place of inspiration, collaboration and connection. Entire communities begin to unlearn previously held biases and take action together. Play inspires people from different cultures to reach across barriers and boundaries. In the realm of play, pure creativity exists and transformation occurs. From this place of transformation, communities have the foundation to generate new avenues for building peace.
