Online event series

Every Wednesday in November 2025, 6:30 – 7:45 p.m. (CET)

Peacebuilding in Challenging Times – under this title, we invite you to join our online event series this November. Over four evenings, we will look at peace work in times of war, militarization, and growing social polarization – together with partners from Palestine and Israel, Ukraine, Serbia and a municipality in Germany.

How can peacebuilding succeed when the wind is blowing stronger against it? We will share experiences from practice, discuss challenges, and explore ways in which peace work can make a difference today.
