On 23 January 2025, Sine Qua Non participated in the ninth edition of the Basel Peace Forum, held in Basel, Switzerland and convened by Swisspeace, one of the leading institutions in the fields of peace research and peacebuilding.
The Basel Peace Forum is an annual international gathering that brings together participants from diverse sectors, including diplomacy, academia, civil society, business, and public institutions. Through panel discussions, workshops, and informal exchanges, the forum seeks to foster innovative thinking and cross-sector collaboration on contemporary peace and conflict challenges. In 2025, the discussions focused on reimagining peace in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, with participants reflecting on conflicts and peace processes across different regions and contexts.
Sine Qua Non attended the forum as part of its ongoing commitment to learning, exchange, and engagement within international peacebuilding networks. The event provided an opportunity to connect with practitioners and organisations working on mediation, dialogue, conflict transformation, and peace processes, while gaining insights into emerging debates and innovative practices in the field.
The organisation’s participation also reflects its broader work in supporting dialogue, democratic conflict management, and inclusive approaches to addressing political and social disputes. Through its activities, Sine Qua Non seeks to contribute to the development of peaceful and democratic responses to conflict, promote civic participation, and support initiatives that strengthen dialogue and mutual understanding.
Sine Qua Non welcomes opportunities such as the Basel Peace Forum that encourage reflection, collaboration, and the exchange of experiences among actors committed to building more peaceful and inclusive societies.
