We are excited to announce the Just Peace Festival, a vibrant platform for dialogue, collaboration, and action on the pressing global challenges of peace and justice! The festival is the culmination of The Hague’s Road to Summit programme and is a collaborative initiative founded by the Hague Humanity Hub, Leiden University and the Municipality of The Hague.
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 touches upon six themes:
- Peace and Justice
- Democracy
- Inclusion, (In)Equality and Diversity
- Climate and Resilience
- International Rule of Law
- (Cyber)Resilience
It is the perfect opportunity to come together, discover new perspectives and actively contribute to a better, more just world. Don't miss it, this will be a festival full of creativity, inspiration and impact!
Just Peace Dialogues
The Festival has a wide variety of programming, ranging from exhibits, movie nights, tours and more. The Just Peace Dialogues are a public debate series open to the public, including civil society groups, armed forces, journalists, policymakers, researchers, young people, and indeed any concerned citizens.
The inspiration is that respectful searching dialogue among diverse viewpoints can generate mutual understanding and new solutions.
The Dialogues are organised by Leiden University in coordination with Just Peace Festival partners.
