About Play for Peace:

**'Play for Peace' (PFP) – a global organization now in its 10th year which
brings together children, youth and organizations from communities in
conflict. PFP is a process of community building. It is the creation of
ongoing learning partnerships that teaches people to be leaders for peace. *
*Swati and Agyat from PFP have worked extensively with young people, notably
with Hindu-Muslim and Arab-Jew children/ youth in Gujarat, and in Israel.

**About the Organizers:
**
Open Space (OS) is a Pune-based social change resource centre focusing on
the research and communication of information for change, and has recently
begun operations in Kolkata. OS uses communication tools and processes to
inform, initiate and inspire change in societal attitudes and public policy.
Our activities are designed to strengthen civil society, especially the
youth, by promoting a deeper understanding of issues related to sustainable
development, justice, equity and rights.

**PeaceWorks (PW) is an initiative of the Seagull Foundation for the Arts
and is committed to encouraging communal harmony and respect for the customs
and culture of 'the other'. PW believes that peace is not only a central
necessity for society to advance, but is also more productive culturally and
socially than violence and hatred.**
