Our Tradition
In Fall 2020, the Carter school launched a new tradition to bring together the Carter School community and the broader public in dialogue about peace, conflict resolution, and justice. This inaugural event was birthed out of the recognition of the International Day of Peace, which is recognized every year on September 21st. The Carter School decided to take that recognition a little further with week-long activities and events in the Spring and Fall.
Spring 2025 Peace Week
Spring 2025 Peace Week will be held April 14th through April 18th. The Carter School Spring 2025 Peace Week titled Conflict Resolution in a Changing and Uncertain World.
In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, persistent conflicts in regions such as Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East, the escalating impacts of climate change, and the rise of artificial intelligence are significantly posing new dynamics for the stability of our global society. These challenges necessitate a fundamental rethinking of the concept of peace and how it can be achieved and sustained. Throughout the Spring 2025 Peace Week, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of seminars, workshops, and interactive sessions. These activities are designed to present innovative strategies, effective practices, and cutting-edge innovations in the field of conflict resolution. By doing so, we hope to equip attendees with the tools and insights needed to navigate and address complex societal challenges of a changing and uncertain world.
