PeaceGames.org seeks to prevent violence through community empowerment
Title
Peace Games
Description
PEACE GAMES imagines a world where every child has the skills, knowledge, supportive relationships, and opportunities to prevent violence and build safer communities. A world where individuals and institutions believe in the power of young people and that violence – in all of its forms – can be prevented. Peace Games believes that this goal is best achieved by building the capacity of schools and community groups to implement holistic, peace and justice education programs.
Peace Games empowers students to create their own safe classrooms and communities by forming partnerships with elementary schools, families, and young adult volunteers.
In order for young people to be effective peacemakers, they need to be supported in developing a solid foundation in four areas: knowledge, skills, relationships and opportunities. All Peace Games Partnership Outcomes are built on these foundations.
