The Peres Center for Peace is a non-partisan organisation founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Shimon Peres. It aims to build an infrastructure of peace and reconciliation by and for the people of the Middle East that promotes socio-economic development, cooperation and understanding.
The Peres Center’s Twinned Peace Football Schools initiative encourages reconciliation between Palestinian and Israeli children from disadvantaged communities through a programme of sport training, peace education instruction, educational support and joint sporting and social activities. This afterschool programme imparts the values of peace and understanding, encourages acceptance of cultural differences, and breaks down stereotypes.
