Build Peace 2025 will take place on
21 – 23 November in Santa Coloma de Gramenet.

Open Now – The Build Peace Call for Proposals is open from now until 30 April, 2025

We value experience and expertise beyond our immediate network. Every year, we make a public call for applications to deliver sessions. Sessions can be: 

  • Short Talks of 10 minutes. Choose this format to present a practical example of your conflict transformation work.  We explicitly invite you to also boldly present something that has not worked.
  • Workshops of 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours. This can be anything that allows for a participatory learning experience: an introduction to a conflict transformation method, a technology tool, a guided walk, a maker space, an art- or movement based offering, or anything else you can imagine that will contribute to our collective learning.
  • Art installations or performances. If you want to perform or bring or set up an art installation exploring these year’s themes, this is your format. Please note that Build Peace is unable to fund the production costs of your installation.

SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

Coming soon – Register for the Conference

Every year, around 300 people gather annually at Build Peace conference events. Participants come from more than 75 different countries, working in national and international NGOs, the UN system, academic institutions, civil society organizations, grassroots organizing and the private sector.

Tickets are sold on a pay-what-you-can basis, because the conference is better when it is accessible to everyone.

Support the conference

We are seeking partners and sponsors to help us bring Build Peace 2025 to Barcelona. Organizations able to make this commitment are integral to building this important community of practice. Our partners and participants regularly express their appreciation for the conference as a venue for learning, networking, and enabling action. The conference is widely recognised as a catalyst for the strengthening of the ecosystem of social innovation for peace.

We welcome sponsors and partners at all levels, from individual contributors to funding organizations, and are seeking funding for specific conference needs. For further details and options, please contact rita@howtobuildup.org and michaela@howtobuildup.org.
