The Peace Café is a signature event series of the IHEID Peacebuilding Initiative (PBI), offering a unique platform where students can engage directly with experienced peacebuilders. It serves as an informal, yet impactful, space for discussion and learning. The Café sessions focus on current trends in peacebuilding, allowing students to stay updated on evolving challenges and approaches in the field.
What makes the Peace Café particularly valuable is the personal interaction it fosters between students and practitioners. Peacebuilders share their own experiences and personal stories, providing insights that go beyond academic learning. This approach gives students not only knowledge but also wisdom drawn from real-world peacebuilding efforts.
The special edition, part of Geneva Peace Week 2024, enhances this experience further by situating the discussions within the broader context of global peace efforts. The goal is to inspire and equip future peacebuilders with the tools and perspectives needed to navigate the complex field of peace and conflict resolution.
This edition is a special opportunity for participants to connect their classroom learning to real-world application, network with professionals, and reflect on their own potential roles as peacebuilders.
This event is only offered in-person.
