General Information

PeacePlayers Cyprus (PP-CY) is part of a global network of PeacePlayers basketball for reconciliation programs that operates internationally on the premise that 'children who play together can learn to live together'. In 2006, PP-CY was established to unite and educate Greek-Cyprio and Turkish-Cypriot young people and their communities through basketball. The program brings together children from both communities for integrated games and activities, structured and implemented by local coaches. PP-CY's unique approach to peacebuilding combines basketball with an innovative curriculum: on-court activities teach children practical skills to cope with and overcome conflict, while carefully structured integration allows them to build mutual trust, friendships and a new shared identity.  To find out more information please check out our online handbook: https://www.canva.com/design/DAFK4BDZX1Y/yQDoVdrcyCUmj7s9rvfjtQ/view?ut…;
