Shifting Power in Peace.

New Dynamics and Agendas – Reshaping Cooperation for Sustainable Peace and Development

  • June 05, 5 pm - 9.30 pm

  • June 06, 9 am - 2 pm

The Working Group on Peace and Development (FriEnt) is very pleased to announce that the sixth edition of the FriEnt Peacebuilding Forum will take place on 5 and 6 June 2024 in Berlin, Germany.

Speakers and participants from around the globe will shape the discussions and interactive sessions on current challenges and trends:

Are we ready for just peace?

Structural causes for violent conflict cannot be addressed with military means alone. Decisive action by the peacebuilding community and beyond is needed to build just peace.

The Peacebuilding Forum will focus on three policy areas:

Reshaping Alliances for Peace and Security

What is the role for Europe?

Promoting Peace through Climate Justice

How can environmental peacebuilding address injustices and conflicts to promote a just transition?

Feminist Development and Foreign Policy

How can dilemmas in power shifts be addressed?

Side events on related topics are scheduled to take place from 29 May to 12 June 2024.


This website will be updated on a regular basis and further information about the conference will be available nearer the time.


About the FriEnt Peacebuilding Forum

The FriEnt Peacebuilding Forum 2024 will welcome more than 100 local, national, and global state and civil society actors as well as policymakers. Amongst them will be national and international government institutions, parliamentarians, civil society organisations as well as international partner networks of the FriEnt member organisations. Together, we want to reaffirm the peacebuilding communities’ claim to influence policy debates and strengthen peacebuilding narratives. The conference will provide networking opportunities in an inclusive environment that brings together peacebuilders from state actors and civil society from different parts of the world.

The Working Group on Peace and Development (FriEnt) is an association of governmental organisations, church development agencies, civil society networks, and political foundations.
