Mission statement

We believe in Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision, that a more peaceful world may be achieved by giving young people the freedom to explore themselves in a growing global society.

We want to promote peace education, cultural understanding and international friendship, by bringing young people and educators together, to learn from and with one another, while making life long memories.

As a non-profit organization, our goal is purely that of connecting people through shared learning experiences, and supplying a multicultural platform for students and teachers to engage in.

For this, we created the Global Montessori Games, an international event that brings Montessori schools, from all over the world, together with the aim of creating peace and connecting people through sports, education and shared culture.

We firmly believe that sports have the power to unite people and to be a driver for social change, while also promoting teamwork, as well and personal growth.

Dr. Maria Montessori said that sports “challenge us to acquire a new skill and that this feeling of enhancing our abilities is the real source of delight in the game.”

For this reason, our events have no winners or prizes. Instead, we remove the competition and combine children of mixed age, gender and nationality, to participate in the Olympic spirit of fun, friendship, solidarity and fair play.

We hope that we may help guide young people to become better world citizens of tomorrow. With our small contribution to peace and sustainability, we just may be able to impact the greater peace the world needs.

We welcome you all to come and join us on our mission.
