A unique mix of films explores this theme, from Gandhi’s Salt March, to ending war in Liberia, to civil discourse and healing in Montana. Each week, we’ll host a live Zoom discussion with key representatives from the films and special guests to answer your questions and explore the topics addressed in the films. Learn more & get tickets!

World BEYOND War is partnering with our affiliate Demilitarise Education (dED) on a new petition campaign, which aims to put international pressure on UK universities to end their partnerships with the global arms trade and instead create ethical partnerships in line with demilitarising. Take action: sign & share the petition here!
