Recent activity by Peace Studies, University of New England, Australia

We have held an annual Nonviolence Film Festival since 2009, showing thirty free films to students, staff and the general public. The 2012 festival included an international conference 'Cultivating Peace: Context, Practices and Multidimensional Models', which led to a book (Cultivating Peace: Contexts, Practices and Multidimensional Models, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle) co-edited by Peace Studies staff. That film festival also included an exhibition: 'Transforming The Human Spirit' (with Soka Gakkai International), talks and discussion panels.
