About us
Martial Arts for Peace gemeinnützige GmbH is a non-governmental non-profit organisation committed to translating core values from martial arts philosophy and Olympic values-based education to everyday life situations of children and young people. By combining the practice of martial arts with educational programs and youth work we aim to build self-confident and resilient individuals and communities. Founded and registered in Germany in 2019 (Court of Registry HRB 115252 Frankfurt am Main) and with a regional hub in Turkey our approach is two-fold and comprises of a) network development and b) implementation of collaborative projects. We work with children and young people including marginalized and most at-risk individuals and groups (unaccompanied/separated refugee and out-of-school children, people with disabilities, victims of bullying, and of gender-based violence).
