Join us for a very special World Peace Day celebration, alongside the launch of Peaceweavers International Peace Anthology!

On 21 September, the world marks the International Day of Peace.

Today, amidst staggering volatility, the search for peace feels overwhelming—but it has never been more urgent.

Peace is more than the absence of war; it is the foundation necessary to collectively tackle humanity’s challenges. It is the lived experience of safety, dignity, opportunities and cooperation in our daily lives.

Under the theme Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day, this year’s International Day of Peace honours the 'everyday architects of peace'—people driving local action, laying the groundwork for stability, and building a lasting peace from the ground up.

Remember, peace isn’t just built in conference rooms—it is shaped by everyone, everywhere, every day.

We will also be celebrating the launch of Peaceweavers international peace anthology

‘Peaceweavers’ weaves together a mixture of essays, interviews, quotations, poetry and artwork from contributors across the world, together wuth a Foreword by Rowan Williams. Together they create a harmonious choir of voices and images about peaceweaving – about how we can nurture cultures of peace, justice, co-operative interdependence and purposeful collaborative labour.

There will be readings, live music and more tbc! Free entry event.
