Geneva Peace Week 2022 - Peace is possible
We are honoured to partner once again with Geneva Peace Week, one of the leading annual forums in the international peacebuilding calendar in which organizations in Geneva and their international partners come together to share knowledge and practice on a diverse range of topics relating to the promotion of peace across contexts and disciplines. Geneva Peace Week 2022 will continue to build upon the thematic discussions that emerged in 2021, while creating spaces for contextualizing and discussing recent local and geopolitical developments, and how they impact the work of those working towards a more peaceful and just society globally. Geneva Peace Week 2022 will take place both in-person and online.
