Raising Peace Festival 2022
17-21 September 2022
The Raising Peace online festival was back to celebrate the International Day of Peace, from 17-21 September.
It has never been more important for all of us to come together in support of a peace-full world. The Raising Peace Festival is a forum where together we learned more about peace in all its forms, from the most personal to peace among nations. It’s also a place where participants equipped themselves to act in support of peace.
Leading off with a day led by First Nations people discussing the Uluru Statement from the Heart and more, our festival also celebrated the great women activists of Greenham Common, invited your participation in workshops to unlock your own peace practice, and dived deep into matters of security, diplomacy and peacemaking in the Pacific. Then joined with others in celebrating the International Day of Peace itself on 21 September.
