Voices of Peace - Mission 21 International Forum 2026
"Voices of Peace": At the two-day Forum for Peacebuilding 2026, Mission 21 will bring together people from different countries, cultures, and fields of expertise to engage in dialogue. Under the theme "Invisible No More – Women as Architects of Peace," we will seek answers to the question of how peace, justice, and social change can be shaped today. We will listen. We discuss. We develop new ideas. Voices of Peace, featuring keynote speeches, discussions, and interactive sessions focused on gender-equitable peacebuilding, will take place on November 19–20, 2026, online via Zoom, in English with translation, free of charge.

Our new webinar series "Global Voices - Acting Together for Peace" ties in thematically with the International Forum 2025 entitled «Peace on Earth. Peace with the Earth». We are asking for a respectful and sustainable relationship with the earth and its elements. We want to confront the alienation between humans and nature and find common paths for peace, justice and sustainability. The series comprises three coordinated webinars that complement each other thematically, but can also be attended independently of each other.
