Fundacion Grupo Internacional de Paz y Desarrollo (GIP)
GIP is a non–profit organisation committed to social transformation for peace building in Latin America, which uses innovative mechanisms to strengthen the capacities of individuals, communities and society to break the intergenerational cycle of violence. During GIP’s years of existence, the sport has been the best ally in this quest.
GIP works with governments, universities, international organisations and the third sector in proposals seeking to influence the process of peace in the territory favourably, under the prospects of prevention, reconciliation and restoration of affected communities. A high methodological content characterises GIP's actions, oriented to personal development and community capacities to respond assertively to social threats with a history of armed conflict and violence. GIP has developed a methodological and operational strategy called 7P Strategy, which emerges and takes as a starting point GIP’s experience and the methodologies developed jointly with its allies to promote peace-building and social crime prevention processes.
Thanks to the sports leaders’ training and support in the use of sport as means to social transformation and peace-building, they are in front of this strategy in their communities, offering initiatives oriented to young people and using different disciplines. This strategy’s purpose is the transformation of imaginaries and behaviors associated with illegality and violence, the reconciliation, and the recovery of physical spaces for community living.
Over 8 years’ experience working in communities affected by the armed conflict in Colombia, and using sports as a tool for social transformation that is reinforced by other strategies involving different members of the communities have given to GIP meaningful learnings to develop models aim in gfor high impact social transformation, and to adapt those models to different and varied contexts.
