BASEL PEACE FORUM 2025

The 9th edition of the Basel Peace Forum took place on 23 January 2025, and brought together over 300 participants in person in Basel and online for an inspiring exchange of ideas.

With 50 speakers traveling from diverse regions - including Colombia, Israel/Palestine, Afghanistan and Sudan - this year's Forum celebrated a truly global gathering of expertise and perspectives. Together, we reimagined the visuals and imaginaries of peace, breaking away from stereotypes to explore deeper, more nuanced understandings of peace and conflict.

Our dynamic hybrid program featured a variety of activities, including panels, roundtable discussions, and creative workshops, all designed to inspire and foster the exchange of innovative ideas among participants from around the world.

See you in 2026!
