Just Peace Festival 2025
In 2025, GTGC co-organised with the City of The Hague and the Hague Humanity Hub a Just Peace Festival, a vibrant platform on the pressing global challenges of peace with justice. The festival involved a wide range of different activities, including dialogues, exhibitions, performances, film evenings, tours, awards, and more. GTGC took the lead in convening seven Just Peace Dialogues that together involved 40 panellists and over 500 participants.
What is the Just Peace Festival?
In today’s interconnected world, where armed conflict, inequality, environmental threats, and social divides threaten democracy and global stability, the Just Peace Festival brings together citizens, experts, artists, policymakers, and activists.
Through interactive sessions, workshops, exhibitions, and performances, the festival celebrates efforts toward peace, fosters meaningful conversations, and inspires collective action.
The Just Peace Festival 2025 touched upon six themes:
- Peace and Justice
- Democracy
- Inclusion, (In)Equality and Diversity
- Climate and Resilience
- International Rule of Law
- (Cyber)Resilience
We hope to see you next year in the festival's second edition!
