Generations For Peace: Training young volunteers to build peace in their own communities

Generations For Peace began in 2007 as a peace-through-sport initiative from Jordan, founded by HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein, who still chairs it. Based in Amman and led since 2024 by its CEO, Lama Hattab, it has trained young volunteers from more than 50 countries to lead peacebuilding work where they live.

Its model is a cascade: GFP trains volunteers and facilitators, who then run programs in their own communities using sport, arts, advocacy, dialogue, media and empowerment. Its work is funded mainly by institutional partners such as the European Union and UNICEF, and in part by its own earnings from events hosted at its conference center in Amman.

Its work is funded mainly by institutional partners such as the European Union and UNICEF, and in part by its own earnings from events hosted at its conference center in Amman.

What deserves credit is its commitment to evidence. Its research arm, the Generations For Peace Institute, works with universities including Georgetown and Oxford, measures what participants learn before and after training, and turns the results into manuals and curricula for the wider field. Few peacebuilding organizations test their own methods this openly.

It is No. 22 in thedotgood’s World Top 200 Social Good Organizations.

History

Since 2007, when Generations for Peace (GFP) was founded as a peace-through-sport initiative of the Jordan Olympic Committee, our journey has been a quest to turn passion into impact. We have always focused on supporting people to implement grassroots peacebuilding activities in their communities to address burning issues of hatred, intolerance, exclusion, inequality, and violence, which they are passionate about changing. Our quest to ensure their passion and effort secure ever-greater impact has driven the continuous evolution of our approach and our organisation over the last 15 years.

From our initial focus on sport as a vehicle for youth engagement and behaviour change, and as we grew, we have learnt from failures and successes in diverse conflict contexts and evaluated, adapted, and refined our approach to include six tools: sport, arts, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media. Our peacebuilding toolkit has allowed us to easily tailor...

Since 2007, when Generations for Peace (GFP) was founded as a peace-through-sport initiative of the Jordan Olympic Committee, our journey has been a quest to turn passion into impact. We have always focused on supporting people to implement grassroots peacebuilding activities in their communities to address burning issues of hatred, intolerance, exclusion, inequality, and violence, which they are passionate about changing. Our quest to ensure their passion and effort secure ever-greater impact has driven the continuous evolution of our approach and our organisation over the last 15 years.

From our initial focus on sport as a vehicle for youth engagement and behaviour change, and as we grew, we have learnt from failures and successes in diverse conflict contexts and evaluated, adapted, and refined our approach to include six tools: sport, arts, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media. Our peacebuilding toolkit has allowed us to easily tailor and adapt activities to local situations and target groups, and our programmes often now use a combination of these tools. We have trained over 22,626 volunteers and reached 1,449,208 children, youth, and adults in 52 countries across the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Through all the changes and adaptations, key elements have remained constant along this incredible journey. All our programmes promote four values: youth leadership, community empowerment, active tolerance, and responsible citizenship. In all our work, we focus on four drivers of change:  innovation, quality, impact, and sustainability. Amidst the recent upsurge of hate speech, prejudice, and violent extremism; economic drivers of fragility; persistent barriers to participation for youth, for refugees for girls and women, and those with disabilities; and climate change impacts increasing vulnerabilities, displacement, and conflict risks, we feel the urgency of our mission and growing demand for our support to turn passion to impact. The quest goes on!
