PeaceWeek 2012 was our 10th and the last one… for now. Wouldn’t it be great if such an event was never again needed? The drop in gun and gang crime (and with it, funding and interest), while indeed good news in itself, does not mean the issues that caused it have gone away, so the work of PeaceWeek and PeaceFM founders Carisma continues. And sadly there is ongoing gang crime in other cities and communities.

So, this year Carisma is holding a one day Peace Seminar, to reflect on and try to pass on our 10 years experience, the lessons learned (and mistakes to avoid!), and strategies used. The day will also draw on the wisdom of a number of experts in conflict resolution and peace-building.

A ‘Peace Tool-Kit’ resource for communities is also in production and will be previewed on the day.

The seminar will be on Friday, March 1, 10am-4:30pm at Manchester Cathedral (registration & coffee from 9:30am) and will be relevant to delegates from the public, private, academic and voluntary sectors. Full details on the Conference Brochure. There is a special rate for community activists: email for details.
