Talking Peace Festival

The Talking Peace Festival is a global arts and cultural platform designed to engage people in the most urgent issues of peace and conflict around the world.

Now in its fourth year, the Talking Peace Festival celebrates the International Day of Peace on 21 September and showcases the power of words and creativity in resolving conflict.

Held at House of Vans London from 21–24 September, the festival will feature an interactive exhibition demonstrating the everyday ways we can all support peace, the return of our innovative pop-up restaurant Conflict Café – exploring the Syrian crisis through the country’s cuisine, and a fascinating Peace Talks discussion.

For more information, visit www.talkingpeacefestival.org or contact communications@international-alert.org.
