        $dataProvider = new \yii\data\ArrayDataProvider([
            'allModels' => $block
        ]);
        echo yii\widgets\ListView::widget([
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
            'layout' => '<dl class="dl-horizontal">{items}</dl>{pager}',
            'itemView' => function($data, $key, $index, $widget) {
                return "<dt>" . $key . "</dt>" . "<dd>" . $data . "</dd>";
            }
        ]);
        
    }
?>

Content list

<?php
    if ($list = Yii::$app->content->get('our-team', 'ru-RU')) {
        
        // Raw output
        foreach ($list as $row) {
            echo $row['first_name']; // where `first_name` as filed name
            echo $row['last_name']; // where `last_name` as filed name
        }
        
        // With GridView and ArrayDataProvider
        $dataProvider = new \yii\data\ArrayDataProvider([
            'allModels' => $list
        ]);
        echo \yii\grid\GridView::widget([
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
