This year’s theme, From Words to Action – Inspiring Active Nonviolence, begins with a question many of us share: How do we turn our values and our desire for change into meaningful action?

Throughout the event, you’ll engage with thought-provoking talks, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and firsthand experiences from people putting active nonviolence into practice in a wide range of contexts.

Together, we’ll explore the methods, strategies, and tools that empower individuals and communities to take action, strengthen resilience, and build lasting commitment to nonviolent change.

It is now open for registration. See link: https://www.bilda.nu/arr/1291718/ickevald-2026-anmal-dig-idag-511423/
