A Geneva Peace Week workshop
11:00-12:30 CET / Maison de la Paix
About the event
We are delighted to part of Geneva Peace Week 2025 with an arts-based workshop, inviting participants to explore peace not as an abstract ideal but as a lived, creative practice.
- Date: Tuesday 14 October, 11:00-12:30
- Capacity: 24 participants
- Main Organiser: Caux Initiatives of Change Foundation
- Partner: Geneva Peacebuilding Platform
Through music, visual arts, storytelling, and collaborative expression, we will examine how personal stories and collective narratives shape empathy, and peace.
Rooted in the belief that peace is an action - something we practice, embody, and co-create - this workshop provides a safe, generative space where multiplicity and pluralism can co-exist.
By engaging hands, heart, and imagination, participants will leave with not only insights but also embodied practices through creativity.
