About us
Generations For Peace (GFP) is a Jordan-based global non-profit peacebuilding organisation founded by HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan in 2007. Dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grassroots, Generations For Peace empowers volunteer leaders of youth to promote active tolerance and responsible citizenship in communities experiencing different forms of conflict and violence. Carefully facilitated sport-based games, art, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media activities provide an entry point to engage children, youth, and adults, and a vehicle for integrated education and sustained behavioural change.
Our vision
Sustainable peace in actively tolerant communities through responsible citizenship.
Our mission
To empower youth to lead and cascade sustainable change in communities experiencing conflict through world-class free education in conflict transformation and the use of sport, art, advocacy, dialogue, empowerment, and media for peacebuilding.
Our work
We are dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grassroots in communities by promoting:
- Youth Leadership: We believe youth have a vital role to play in leading social change and transforming conflict in their communities.
- Community Empowerment: We believe in working at the grassroots, supporting youth to build on local strengths, and helping communities transform themselves into tolerant, peaceful societies.
- Active Tolerance: We believe peace is a process driven by active understanding, dialogue, and positive engagement with others, founded on trust and respect.
Responsible Citizenship: We believe social change begins with personal responsibility and is sustained when people are actively engaged in creating their community's shared future.
Programmes
GFP has 13 active programmes in 2024. Highlights include:
- Riadati is a three-year programme funded by the Olympic Refuge Foundation (ORF) that aims to improve the mental health and psychosocial well-being of 15,000 displacement-affected Syrian, Palestinian, and Jordanian youth through sport. The programme was launched in 2022 and will continue over the span of three years. Riadati will enable an equal number of female and male children and youth to engage in high-quality sport activities. The sessions are delivered in partnership with Community-Based Organisations (CBOs), the UNICEF-supported Makani Centres, and during the Summer Camps organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Jordan School Sports Federation (JSSF).
- Sawn, which translates to "Preservation" in English, is a one-year programme funded by UNICEF. This youth-led climate action initiative is in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Youth. The programme aims to equip youth from all governorates in Jordan with the skills to lead climate action and advocate for a more sustainable future. Recognising young people as vital climate stakeholders, Sawn focuses on inclusivity and fostering collaboration among youth from diverse backgrounds. Sawn I, launched in 2022, continued until March 2023, followed by Sawn II starting in April 2023 and still ongoing.
- Hudour, which translates to "Presence" and "Preparedness," is a three-year programme funded by the European Union. It aims to increase the participation of young women and men in the social and economic development of the country. The programme has three main pillars:
1. Youth Digital Skills: This pillar aims to increase youth participation in the economic sector by providing ICT-based skills and facilitating their exposure to the labour market for employment opportunities.
2. Youth Civic Engagement: This pillar aims to foster the role of young women and men in developing their local communities.
3. Youth Mental Health and Psychosocial Support: This pillar aims to promote youth's work-related mental health and psychosocial well-being and aid the institutionalisation of a peer-to-peer support network.
