Re: Recommendation for Mr Nenad Ilic
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to recommend Nenad Ilic, a Generations For Peace volunteer, for his work in the field of sport
for youth development.
Generations For Peace is a leading global non-profit peace-building organisation founded by HRH
Prince Feisal Al Hussein in 2007. Generations For Peace has its headquarters in Amman and a
growing number of locally registered satellite offices in different countries.
We are dedicated to sustainable conflict transformation at the grass roots in communities, by
promoting youth leadership, community empowerment, active tolerance, and responsible citizenship.
We are a volunteer movement, empowering, mentoring and supporting volunteers to be change-
makers to create a better future in their own communities. In the last seven years, we have trained and
mentored more than 8,500 volunteer leaders of youth in 50 countries and territories in the Middle East,
Africa, Asia, and Europe. With our support, their ongoing programmes address local issues of conflict
and violence, and have touched the lives of more than 216,000 children, youth and adults.
Generations For Peace is ranked #32 in the “Top 500 NGOs in the World”, by Global Geneva, and is
the only peace-through-sport organisation officially recognised by the International Olympic
Committee.
Nenad is one of our most experienced and dedicated volunteers in Republic of Serbia, and he has
been instrumental in the success and growth of Generations For Peace programmes there. Having
first been trained by Generations For Peace at our International Camp in Sochi in 2011, he committed
himself to apply his training, leading the design and implementation of a local community programme
addressing local issues of conflict and violence. Supported by the National Olympic Committee of
Serbia, the programme developed an innovative “Peace Caravan“ road-show approach, visiting
schools around Serbia to engage youth in fun sport-based games integrated with peace-building
education.
Nenad’s strengths draw upon his own sports excellence and coaching background, and his work at
the Ministry of Youth & Sports in Serbia, combined with his passion and energy to inspire youth and
promote positive change. In 2014, Nenad was selected for further training at our International Camp in
Sochi, and he continues to play a lead role as the number of Generations For Peace volunteers in
Serbia, and their activities continue to grow, promoting youth leadership, community empowerment,
active tolerance, and responsible citizenship.
I have no hesitation in giving my highest recommendation for Nenad for work in the field of sport for
youth development.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Clark
Chief Executive Officer
