Whitaker Peace Dev. Initiative

Initiative Whitaker pour la paix et le développement

Welcome to the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative

Our app is a free, fun and educational way for users to learn on real life situations and problem-solve them. Players will learn about cyberbullying, restorative justice, teambuilding, negotiation, peer mediation, and more by playing the games and simulations featured in the app. No background knowledge on these topics is needed for playing.

How it works:

Create an account in the WPDI app and move to create your own avatar and play the scenarios.

In each game, players will be engaged in scenarios aimed at sparking reflection on choices we have to make in real life situations, including interpersonal and intergroup conflicts.

Players will be able to design their own avatars and earn unique badges related to the corresponding themes of each game. Each game also hosts different levels and fun mini-games to engage players of all ages. WPDI aims to have players from around the world playing this game to promote non-violence and peace, notably in educational contexts.

Why WPDI:

There is no other peace education app available that is both engaging and fun. Players can learn new conflict resolution strategies and play scenarios that they can apply to real-life situation. Play it today for free and learn how conflict resolution strategies can be both fun and useful!

WPDI is an international nonprofit organization that works to promote the use of nonviolence and dialogue to solve difficult situations and conflicts.
