The Grande Finale will pull together all we’ve heard from the different plenaries, sessions and other activities of the Conference in one coherent, strong message.
In our Chair’s Summary, we will firstly outline the path forward for our fellow activists and civil society at large, at the hand of commitments made throughout the three conference days by speakers and particpants. As we know peacemaking starts at ourselves, these commitments are aimed at strengthening the peace movement like never before and focus on becoming the change we want to see in the world.
Secondly, we will put forth a clear, time-bound set of demands for change to the world’s leadership and governments as suggested by all our participants and speakers throughout the Conference. These will make clear that after 100 years of activism the women’s peace movement is clear on what we want, need and demand.
In this way, we will forge the new peace agenda of the 21st century together, and hope there will be no need to celebrate WILPF’s 200th Anniversary!
