PeacePlayers International is a non-profit organization that brings youth from communities in conflict together to play basketball. Our coaches and mentors work year round to unite, educate and inspire young people to create a more peaceful world. We operate year-round local programs in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Cyprus, South Africa, and most recently, the United States. PeacePlayers provides youth with the skills to confront conflict with empathy as they grow into ambassadors for peace in their communities to show that if you can play together, you can learn to live together.

Those are some of the things that Global Exchange participants taught during their coaching session at Bhekaphambili primary school in Lamontville yesterday.
