Generations For Peace Initiative Grows On World Stage
Nine New Nations Sign Up For Generations For Peace: Camp 08, A Pioneering Certification Programme For Conflict Resolution Amongst Youth LeadersAmman, Jordan will play host to the second annual Generations for Peace camp by bringing together youth leaders from sixteen Asian and African countries troubled by conflict.
Founded by HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan, Generations For Peace uses sport as a vehicle for peace building in divided communities. Generations For Peace: Camp 08 will take place in the Al Hussein Youth City, Amman, the venue for the successful pilot camp last year where leaders of youth from seven countries learnt the skills to run peace programmes and cascade their learning back home. As a result of this initial camp, more than 45 peace projects using sport amongst youth in troubled areas will be implemented by the end of 2008.
The 2009 Generations For Peace camp will be held in Abu Dhabi early next year, following the announcement of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister, as a Founding Partner of Generations For Peace.
