We promote peacebuilding through dialogue, exchange and a variety of concrete actions.
15th Edition of the World Peace Forum 23-25th of November 2023
“QUO VADIS WORLD“
The World Peace Forum is a unique opportunity to place once again Barcelona and Catalonia as a benchmark for peace in the world, given the global context of the growing threat of nuclear conflict, as well as the increase in everyday violence. Barcelona draws the red line where pacifism is planted and says “enough conflicts”.
2023 Edition is organised by the World Peace Forum’s great spanish team of volunteers, under the presidency of Mr. Josep Felix Bentz.

I Know that Peace is Possible
I am convinced, I know that peace is possible. It is a mathematical question and a question of time until we reach the “critical mass” to bring the “new-paradigm-barrel” to overflow.
Crime is everywhere and it is well organized. The economy of war has broad shoulders. Yet an economy of peace will create so many more opportunities and bring about prosperity to all people. The day we get our act together and replace the old system by a structure of “organized peace”, we can open unheard-of, but long-sought-after new realities.

Join the Debates
What will tomorrow’s challenges be? What forms of political process and decision-making will encourage the population of the world to escalate issues of peace rather than war? Are governments capable of making peace a reality, a real priority? What is the role of civil society? When faced with multifaceted challenges, solutions will also need to be multidimensional. A revolution in technology accompanied by a globalized economy has created a situation in which some activities are more “peace-friendly” than others. Can we buy peace? How do we invest in peace? Is peace an option for everyone?
