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 can learn more about peace in all its forms, from the most personal to peace among nations. It’s also a place where participants can equip 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 will also celebrate the great women activists of Greenham Common, invite your participation in workshops to unlock your own peace practice, and dive deep into matters of security, diplomacy and peacemaking in the Pacific. We will explore the implications of AUKUS, the continued fight against nuclear weapons and remember the contributions of peacemakers of all types.

It all culminates in a series of events to celebrate the International Day of Peace itself on 21 September.

We hope that you can join us again for a week of learning, celebration and action.
