== History ==
Generations For Peace was founded as a peace-through-sports initiative of the Jordan Olympic Committee in 2007, but has since expanded to include art, advocacy, dialogue, and empowerment as tools to bring peace to communities facing division and conflict. Since its founding, the organisation has trained more than 16,000 volunteers and reached over 780,000 children, youth, and adults across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East as of 2019. It has also been supported by a variety of partners, including the European Union, UNICEF, USAID, UNESCO, International Olympic Committee, Samsung, and the University of Oxford.
Generations For Peace established a research institute, the Generations For Peace Institute, in 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://en.ammonnews.net/article.aspx?articleNO=11946#.WzyKAxIzbOQ|title=King patronizes opening of Generations for Peace Institute {{!}} Sports {{!}} Ammon News|website=en.ammonnews.net|access-date=2018-07-04}}</ref>
