PEACE BY GAMES
Imagines a world where every person 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 community groups to implement holistic, peace and justice education programs.
Peacemaking by games requires that we understand, appreciate and value others and ourselves. All Peace Games partners need to understand that young people are problem-solvers, not problems; that they have the capacity to promote peace and create positive change in themselves and their communities.
Peacemaking by games requires that youth may be able to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and relationships through resolving conflicts without violence. The Peace Games activities accomplish this through Peacemaker Projects. These community service projects give youth the opportunity to mentor each other, take on civic responsibility, and better their communities.
