About Generations For Peace

Generations For Peace is a leading global non-profit peacebuilding organisation with its headquarters in Amman, Jordan. They are dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grass roots in communities, by promoting youth leadership, community empowerment, active tolerance, and responsible citizenship. They are a volunteer movement, empowering, mentoring, and supporting volunteers to be change-makers to create a better future in their own communities.

Since 2007, Generations For Peace have trained and mentored more than 19,432 volunteer leaders of youth in 51 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Their ongoing programmes address local issues of conflict and violence, and have touched the lives of more than 1,411,125 children, youth, and adults.

They use sport as an entry point to engage with youth, and their carefully-facilitated sport-based games provide a vehicle for integrated education and behaviour change. Generations For Peace is the only peace-through-sport organisation officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee. In addition to our sport-based approaches, we have also developed arts, advocacy, dialogue, and empowerment activities to support conflict transformation with children, youth, and adults in different contexts.

The organization is committed to robust measurement and evaluation of their programmes to support continual learning and innovation, to identify and promote good practices, and to demonstrate impact and sustainability. The Generations For Peace Institute leads on undertaking programmatic research, independently or collaboratively with leading academic institutions, such as the University of Oxford.

The Institute also conducts collaborative applied research projects to help advance the broader peacebuilding field and allocates various research grants and scholarships. The Institute’s in-depth research serves as an evidence-base to assist in crafting and maintaining high-quality tailor-made programming; a tool to gain support from local stakeholders, donors, or academics; and a knowledge-base to inform their educational and training materials as well as strengthen the capacity of the staff, volunteers, and local partners.
