The GHfP Institute’s events focus on creating opportunities for new forms of encounter and dialogue.
We believe that such interactions can enhance mutual respect and appreciation between peoples, groups, and promote harmony in societies. These events aim to generate new understanding and new awareness that can contribute to the overall aim of the Institute.

CRIC Annual Conference 2024: the theme of 2024 CRIC was “Ending Wars” to address two perspectives –
- Exploring whether it is possible that out of the immediate worldwide crises of war and climate catastrophe a new approach can be fashioned to deal with our deepest differences, as was the case, albeit not permanently, after the two global conflicts of the first half of the 20th century.
- Reflecting on if we are to understand how the current specific and overlapping wars can be closed down.
Minerva, the Roman goddess of war was used as a symbol of CRIC 2024. She is also of goddess of wisdom, art, justice and commerce. Can we bring wisdom to bear on the problem of war?
International Workshop on Governance for Human Future: The Centrality of Dialogue, to be held on 10 Sept 2022, Harris Manchester College, Oxford. All accepted papers will be included in a Special Issue of Journal of Dialogue Studies to be published in 2023.
Africa, the continent where humanity created its first communities, has always had rich philosophies, wisdom and praxis aimed at developing humanising systems of governance through regulating power, enriching social interactions, distributing resources fairly, and harmonising human’s relationships with nature and other non-human entities.
To explore examples of traditional African endogenous governance systems, Afrospectives, a Global Africa Initiative, and the Global Humanity for Peace Institute are co-hosting an international online symposium. The presenters are distinguished high-level scholars, who will also engage with invited participants in co-creative dialogue about how the insights from traditional African governance practices might contribute to our collective efforts to meet contemporary global challenges.
