High-Level Opening Ceremony : Peace in Action

Bringing together international leaders, youth voices, and artists, the event will serve as a platform to reflect on how peacebuilding must adapt to remain relevant, resilient, and inclusive. The evening will affirm Geneva’s role as a hub where diverse perspectives converge to translate ideas into action.

Through inspiring addresses, thoughtful exchanges, and creative performances, the ceremony will set the tone for a week of dialogue and collaboration across institutions, sectors, and generations. It will invite participants to imagine new ways of amplifying local agency, strengthening civil society, and ensuring that peace efforts respond to the complexities of our interconnected world.
