Mission Statement
The mission of PeacePlayers International – Northern Ireland (PPI-NI) is to unite, educate and inspire children and young people in divided communities, through sport. Our guiding philosophy is that children and young people that play together can learn to live together.
About This Cause
PPI-NI is a cross-community charity that uses the game of basketball to unite young people from the Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist and Catholic/Republican/Nationalist communities in Belfast and select surrounding areas. Basketball, unlike traditional sports, is not affiliated with either community and therefore provides a neutral space to address the cultural divide. By competing together on integrated teams, children from these historically divided communities can discover common ground and forge new friendships. The contact element of PPI-NI’s programmes is further enhanced through age-appropriate community relations and team-building activities that aim to bridge divides, change perceptions, and empower children to impart positive change in their communities.
