Fighting for Peace: From the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro and Beyond

Fight for Peace (FFP) is an international voluntary organisation aiming to overcome divisions and violence and promote the potential of young people who live in disadvantaged communities by using boxing and martial arts combined with education and personal development. Set up initially in Rio de Janeiro, FFP was also later adapted and delivered in the London Borough of Newham, to test the feasibility of implementing the project in other cultures and societies.
