GLOBAL
CONNECTIONS
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEVENS INITIATIVE
In March 2024, PeacePlayers launched Enhancing Global Connections, a
new initiative created in partnership with the Stevens Initiative (housed
at the Aspen Institute and supported by the Bezos Family Foundation),
PeacePlayers will provide over 1,000 young people around the world with
high-quality virtual training in con昀氀ict resolution, community engagement,
leadership, wellness and activism. Enhancing Global Connections seeks to
also go beyond youth programming by offering virtual capacity building
for PeacePlayers coaches and practitioners from other organizations in the
sport for development sector. PeacePlayers’ Enhancing Global Connections is
funded by the Stevens Initiative, which is housed at the Aspen Institute and
is supported by the Bezos Family Foundation.
“With the Stevens grant, we can take things to the next level by
connecting participants globally in ways that just weren’t
昀椀nancially possible before.”
