World Peace Festival


http://www.worldpeacefestival.org/

Unlike other peace festivals that have gone before, the WPF is not simply an awareness generating vehicle, rather it is a call and a pathway to action. This event will teach people how to be more at peace with themselves, others and the environment, by sharing Tools for PeaceTM are simple, practical exercises, already used by master peace builders around the world, for implementing peace on a personal level.

The goal of the festival is to create sociological peaceful change by starting with individual peaceful change. Through the medium of art, music, dance, sport and the spoken word, people will learn the real causes of personal and interpersonal conflict, and be empowered to recognise and choose real and tenable alternatives to violence in any context.

The festival features arts, sports and cultural events, including photography exhibitions by Russell James and Chip Duncan, as well as a WPF Film Festival. On the second day, there will be a seven-hour music concert with the title of "All 1 Tribe", where world-renowned, global performers will play alongside indigenous artists.
