Invest in peace — for everyone, everywhere, every day
Today, on the International Day of Peace, Društvo Medkulturni Dialog joins the United Nations in its call to invest in peace — for everyone, everywhere, every day.
This year the United Nations honours the everyday architects of peace: people who build trust in their own neighbourhoods, classrooms and communities, without waiting for someone else to take the first step. That is the work we have done in Ljubljana since 2007 — bringing people of different faiths, cultures and backgrounds to the same table, to listen to one another, to learn, and to discover what we share.
Peace is more than the absence of war. It is built in ordinary moments.
In a conversation between neighbours who rarely meet. In a classroom where newcomers and locals learn side by side. In a question asked instead of an assumption made. At a time of growing polarisation across Europe, those moments matter more than ever.
Dialogue Talks 2026–2027
This autumn we continue that work with a series of international panel discussions on intercultural dialogue and resilience against extremism. The first talk is on 23 October 2026 at the Oton Župančič Library in Ljubljana.
Today we invite you to take one small step for peace:
talk with someone whose story is different from yours.
