Ripples of Peace

The Scottish Peace Platform’s understanding of peace is inspired by Professor Christine Bell’s ‘Ripples of Peace’, which expand outwards from conflict contexts into peacetime. Members of the SPP actively work on one or more circles of peacebuilding, and will be able to connect with members working in other circles

Scottish Peace Platform World Café Networking Day

A day for networking and sharing for Scotland’s peacebuilding sector.

The ‘World Cafe’ event brings together those working in Scotland’s peacebuilding sector for networking, sharing, and reflection. The event will also highlight activities run by and in partnership with the SPP in its first 6 months of establishment, and share plans and opportunities to work with the SPP in the future.

The ‘World Cafe’ format brings together facilitated, small-group discussions that encourage open conversation, sharing of ideas, and collective reflection through several short rounds of exchange around focused questions. Members and partners are invited to share information about their work through short presentations, table discussions, or a poster/ stall – to get involved please get in touch with us through the ‘contact event organiser’ link below.

Registration is for in-person attendance only as we are unable to offer this event in a hybrid format.

If you have any queries regarding this event please get in touch with Peace Platform Manager Noor al Naser, nalnaser@beyondbordersscotland.com and Projects Officer Shona McCallum smccallum@beyondbordersscotland.com
