Around the world, communities are searching for sustainable, practical ways to reduce polarization, prevent conflict, and build cultures of peace. This year’s GAMIP Annual General Meeting and Conference brings together global practitioners, policymakers, academics, and peacebuilders to explore Infrastructures for Peace (I4P)—the systems, institutions, and community-driven frameworks that transform conflict before it turns violent.
The conference highlights innovative models of national and local peace architectures, from mediation networks and peace education initiatives to government-level structures such as Ministries or Departments for Peace. These ideas echo the vision set out in Vijay Mehta’s acclaimed book How Not To Go To War, which advocates establishing Departments for Peace and Peace Centres worldwide as a proactive alternative to militarised responses. Together, we will examine how I4P can strengthen social resilience, empower communities, and offer concrete pathways to combating violence in all its forms.
Join us as we advance a global movement for peace—one grounded not in reaction, but in infrastructure, innovation, and hope.
