People discover new ways to increase peace in schools, work, and the larger community when they participate in EnTeam activities.

EnTeam games are a valuable resource for peace-building
Religious organizations use EnTeam activities as a resource for developing skills to collaborate with other faiths, while remaining true to their own faith. Learning how to win together can help us bridge our cultural and religious differences.

During the last two years, EnTeam has sponsored an event called “Operation Cooperation” commemorating the Sept. 11 tragedy. More than 100 teachers, parents and students from Al-Salam Day School, Solomon Schechter Day School, Principia Lower School and St. Monica School have gathered to play EnTeam games, share food and plant a tree. The goal has been to build greater understanding and respect for others from the four faith-based schools.

Through “Operation Cooperation” the participants have increased their ability to resolve problems peacefully. EnTeam activities are a form of "service learning" because they give people a way to learn to build peace through communication, cooperation, and teamwork. EnTeam programs engage students and parents in building better relations across the community. We hope to develop “Operation Cooperation” into a model that can be replicated in other cities. 
• EnTeam games encourage people to solve problems together.
• They show that we can win by bringing out the best in others.
• And they are fun...
