The third annual Tampere Peace Day is centered around the theme of Reclaiming Peace in the Age of Militarism. With this theme, we encourage participants to critically examine approaches to envisioning, promoting, and mediating peace in a world where the restraints on violence are diminishing and muscles matter more than values. It also invites reflection on the potential future roles of various types of peacebuilders and their capacity to adapt within an increasingly militarized environment, where civil society engagement faces growing challenges.
This year, the event will be organized jointly by Tampere Peace Research Institute (TAPRI), CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation (CMI), Finn Church Aid (FCA) and the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (Felm).
The programme will be published closer to the date on Tapri's website. The day will begin with keynote speeches in the main auditorium, followed by three parallel round-table discussions on topics relating to the theme. A reception will follow.
If you have questions about the event, please feel free to contact Marko Lehti, Research Director of TAPRI, at marko.lehti [at] tuni.fi (marko[dot]lehti[at]tuni[dot]fi) or TAPRI Intern Annika Termonen, at annika.termonen [at] tuni.fi (annika[dot]termonen[at]tuni[dot]fi)
