At GAMES – Global Association of Montessori Education and Sport – we are inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision of a more peaceful world. Our mission is to connect young people and educators across cultures through sports, education, and shared culture. Every event we create is rooted in peace education, sustainability, and the belief that collaboration builds bridges where borders often divide.
Just last week, during the Global Montessori Games in Turkey, we once again witnessed the power of international friendship. Students and teachers from across the world came together to play, learn, and share their cultures. What started as games and activities quickly became something deeper: understanding, respect, and lasting friendships that transcend geography.
On this International Day of Peace, we are reminded that peace is not an abstract dream. It is something we can practice together.
By giving young people the chance to meet, connect, and learn across cultures, we plant the seeds of a more peaceful future.
Together, we can make peace a lived reality.
PEACE,
Global Association of Montessori Education and Sport
