THP creates curriculums that allow people to study conflict as it exists in textbooks, while also promoting critical thinking and tolerance among students.

History, which consists of multiple narratives, is often taught as a set of facts to students around the world. These facts are meant to serve political and ideological ends that, in their most extreme form, teach students to hate others from different cultures e.g. Hindus or Muslims. This initiative draws on content from multiple history textbooks in India and Pakistan, placing Indian and Pakistani textbook narratives side-by-side to highlight the contrasts between them, as well as to point to areas of convergence. Its two-part model consists of content creation and dissemination by first identifying contrasts in historical accounts, supporting them with illustrations and discussion questions published on the project’s own textbooks, and then by introducing them in schools, both in India and Pakistan.

Equal Playing Field (EPF) was established in 2011 as the Rugby League Against Violence (RLAV) by young social entrepreneurs Adam Everill and Jacqui Joseph. Adam and Jacqui met during the 2011 Global Changemakers Forum in Delhi, where they discovered a shared passion for rugby and ending violence against women. Over a period of three years, and with the help of a team of dedicated volunteers, Adam and Jacqui have led the delivery of sports-based violence prevention education programs and initiatives to hundreds of children in Australia and Papua New Guinea.

In 2014, after three years of learning from their successes and failures, RLAV Australia staff and board directors underwent an intense period of strategic planning, emerging with a new name (Equal Playing Field), an improved suite of evidence-based programs, and a renewed vision for an end to gender-based violence in Australia. RLAV PNG followed suit.
