<\/a><\/p>\nThe four categories are also the key \u0093drivers of change\u0094 for Generations For Peace.\u00a0The Samsung Generations For Peace Award for Innovation is given to a programme that demonstrates innovative and creative ways to plan and implement their programmes.<\/p>\n
It is also awarded for leveraging local community resources, for thinking out of the box, and being adaptive in addressing issues of scarce resources and risks that come up during programme implementation.<\/p>\n
The winners of the 2015 Innovation Award were volunteers from Kyrgyzstan for the Batken Generations For Peace Isfana Art for Peace programme, which aims to improve relationships and build trust between Kyrgyz and Uzbek students, in a region of the country where there have been high ethnic tensions.<\/p>\n
The volunteers used innovative tools that helped participants appreciate the culture and traditions of different ethnicities in new ways, including forum theatre, acting and photography classes, boys\u0092 activities in support of girls on International Women\u0092s Day and a festival of friendship. Representatives from the district education department and directors of the targeted schools asked that these activities be scaled up to a district level.<\/p>\n
The winners of the 2015 Quality Award were volunteers from the Republic of Macedonia for a Sport for Peace Programme for Children in Tetovo. This programme helps build trust between Albanian and Macedonian children; providing a space for interaction and opportunities to develop friendships. Volunteers built credibility by forming a diverse team with volunteers from both ethnicities. The team went beyond the recommended monitoring procedures and have shown great commitment, attention to detail and consistency in their reporting.<\/p>\n
The winners of the 2015 Sustainability Award were volunteers from Palestine for the Tulkarem Violence in Schools Programme. The programme focused on violence in schools between students from different refugee and host communities.<\/p>\n
The volunteers\u0092 success led the Ministry of Education to request the replication of the Tulkarem programme in Jenin. Today, more than 130 female and male students from five schools have benefitted from the carefully facilitated sport-based activities to reduce violence.<\/p>\n
The organisation congratulated this year\u2019s award winners, as well as the ongoing dedication of all 39 Generations For Peace volunteers who attended the 2015 Advanced Training, and the nearly 9,000 volunteers who have been trained to implement peacebuilding programmes in their communities around the world.<\/p>\n
At the Awards Dinner, HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein also presented certificates in recognition of Samsung Levant, supporter of their work since 2008; the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which supports GFP\u2019s work throughout the MENA region; as well as institutional partner Jordan Olympic Committee, telecommunications partner Orange, logistics partner DHL, and beverage sponsor CocaCola Jordan.<\/p>\n
GFP uses sport as an entry point to engage with children and youth, and our carefully-facilitated sport-based games provide a vehicle for integrated education and behaviour change. In addition to our sport-based approaches, GFP has also developed arts, advocacy, dialogue, and empowerment activities to support conflict transformation with children, youth and adults in different contexts.<\/p>\n
In the last seven years, we have trained and mentored more than 8,500 volunteer leaders of youth in 50 countries and territories in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe. With our support, their ongoing programmes address local issues of conflict and violence, and have touched the lives of more than 216,000 children, youth and adults.<\/p>\n
GFP is ranked 32nd in the \u0093Top 500 NGOs in the World\u0094 for 2015 by Global Geneva. The ranking assesses non-governmental organisations according to innovation, impact, and sustainability.<\/p>\n
GFP is also the only peace-through-sport organisation officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee.
