12 Peace Panels: Engaging discussions on critical peace-related topics. These in-person sessions in Geneva take place at the Conference Center of the Maison de la Paix and can accommodate up to 140 participants on site, with remote access via Zoom for online participation. Lasting around 90 minutes, they aim to foster discourse among experts and stakeholders on specific topics. Audience engagement via Q&A sessions are strongly encouraged.


12 Peace Workshops: Interactive sessions to develop practical skills and strategies. These in-person sessions in Geneva take place at the Geneva Center for Security Policy and can accommodate up to 40 participants on site with remote access via Zoom for online participation. Practitioner-led, they emphasize interactivity, group work, and knowledge exchange. Speakers’ contributions cannot exceed 30% of the session time.

How to apply ?

For your own convenience, here are the required fields in the application form.

Requirements:

  • Alignment with the guiding questions and keywords: Submitted proposals must align with the thematic direction of Geneva Peace Week 2024.
  • Clear Peacebuilding Objectives: The aims and objectives of the session in promoting peacebuilding efforts must be clearly articulated.
  • Speaker Diversity and Inclusivity: Events can accommodate up to 5 speakers, representing diverse sectors such as International Organisations, NGOs, Academia, Governments, and the Private Sector. Organisers should ensure inclusivity in speaker selection, considering factors such as gender, age, and geographical representation.
  • Collaborative approach: Each event should have one lead organiser and up to five co-organisers. At least one of the institutions organising the event must be based in Geneva. Each organisation can only apply once as a lead organisation and only a second time as a co-organiser.
  • Hybrid Event Design: All events are expected to be hybrid, catering to both on-site and online audiences. Organisers should design their sessions with this dual audience in mind to maximize participation and engagement.
