The Non-Violence Project and ChampSDA join forces through FOOTBALL FOR PEACE

The Non-Violence Project and ChampSDA have strengthened a long-term partnership through FOOTBALL FOR PEACE, an initiative to promote cohesion, team spirit and other skills among children and youth to prevent and reduce violent behaviors.

To support this initiative and raise funds, the artist group “Green Capitalists” have developed several collections of Secured Digital Assets on the theme of football and non-violence, presented on the SDA-marketplace ChampSDA.The collections are based on the "10 WAYS", a tool developed by the Non-Violence Project to help young people behave responsibly.

In Phase 1, there will be 5 themes, each with two collections of 1,000 SDAs. The first, "Moments of Victory," related to the World Cup in Qatar, will be available for purchase as early as November 2022. For the Women's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand, the second phase with new collections is planned for July 2023. Further projects are currently under discussion.

The collections are available for sale on FOOTBALL FOR PEACE – ChampSDA. Some proceeds will support programs of the Non-Violence Project.

« We want to inspire and motivate children to overcome and prevent conflicts without ever resorting to violence. Football connects and moves, let's set an important sign with FOOTBALL FOR PEACE, because nobody is born violent » stated Markus Schruf from NVP Brazil.

Wolfgang Schwayda from ChampSDA added « ChampSDA attaches great importance to sustainable, social and ecological development. We are proud to be able to support FOOTBALL FOR PEACE with our expertise and thus make an important contribution to a future free of violence».

The Non-Violence Project Foundation (NVPF) is a non-profit organisation with a mission to inspire, motivate and engage young people to learn how to solve conflicts peacefully. NVPF was founded in 1993 in Switzerland and has educated more than 9 million young people, teachers, and sports coaches on six continents. www.nonviolence.com

We inspire, motivate and educate young people to learn how to solve conflicts peacefully.

The Non-Violence Project Foundation inspires, motivates, and empowers young people by equipping them with the skills to cultivate awareness and understanding of non-violence. Our programs help individuals overcome violence and solve conflicts peacefully, promoting a world where creativity and peaceful communication thrive. We believe that knowledge is power, and through skill-based learning and engaging educational tools, we unlock the potential for positive change in the world.

Since our founding in 1993 in Switzerland, we have educated over 10 million people across five continents. Our education programs and outreach initiatives have earned numerous accolades for best practices. In 2011, President Obama awarded NVPF the President’s Call to Service Award. Other honors include the Presidential Daily Light Award, presented to President Bill Clinton, the Paul Harris Fellow Award from Rotary International, the American National Safety Council Award for best practice, and the Weed & Seed Award from the U.S. Department of Justice in 2009.

Our iconic symbol, the Knotted Gun, was created by renowned Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in 1980. The sculpture, depicting a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, was a response to the tragic assassination of John Lennon. Reuterswärd's intent was to symbolize the futility of violence and the power of peace. The Knotted Gun has since become a global symbol for the Non-Violence Project, representing our commitment to educating the world on peaceful conflict resolution.

With our 30-year legacy, innovative methods, and a growing community of change advocates like you, we are actively shaping a more peaceful and non-violent world.

As a non-profit based in Switzerland, we operate globally, welcoming individuals from all corners of the world to join us in our mission.
