INTERNATIONAL PEACE BUREAU (IPB) WORLD PEACE CONGRESS

Barcelona | October 15-17, 2021

Workshop Description

●● Stronger Together for Peace: Building Campaigns and Alliances

SATURDAY, 16 OCTOBER | 9:00 AM – 11:15 AM ET

Hybrid format: online & on location (Venue: Blanquerna – Universitat Ramon Llull)

We will examine effective coalition-building from three perspectives: across movements, across generations, and across national boundaries. How can we build powerful alliances to achieve campaign victories? Bring your ideas, questions, and ideas to share in this interactive workshop. Afterward, you will be able to build stronger campaigns and alliances for peace through vibrant and dynamic coalitions.

Coordinated by Steven Staples, PeaceQuest and IPB Board member.
