Join us for a conversation with 2017 Nobel Peace Prize recipient and world-renowned nuclear ban advocate Setsuko Thurlow.
Every year, on September 21, the world celebrates the International Day of Peace.
Peace Week began when Conrad Grebel University College initiated a series of community events for the week surrounding the International Day of Peace. Since 2017, we have been opening up this initiative to Kitchener-Waterloo and beyond.
We invite you to continue to make Peace Week a region-wide celebration by attending an event in your community or planning your own event to mark the occasion your way!
Some 2018 Peace Week highlights include a STEAM for Peace event at Waterloo Public Library, a yoga class at Queen Street Yoga, and the Grand River Water Walk. Learn more.
Join us for a reception celebrating the next Grebel Gallery exhibit, "Gichitwaawizi'igewin: Honouring". In this exhibit, artist Catherine Dallairere-examines the original indigenous values in animals and plant life that are vilified by contemporary Western settler culture.
During a 12-week writing and performance workshop facilitated by local professional artists and hosted at the Centre for Peace Advancement, 19 refugee and immigrant women from Waterloo Region each developed a personal narrative. They then worked collaboratively to bring their individual stories together into a cohesive presentation to be shared publicly.
Project Ploughshares will be hosting an online webinar to discuss the TPNW on January 29, 2021 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. on Zoom.
Where do we go to talk about our everyday traumatic experiences that we do not believe are worthy of sharing?
