Launch of the 2026 edition

The aim of the 2026 edition is to create an international and intergenerational momentum for narratives of peace grounded in grassroots action.

People who are marginalised – particularly young people, women, displaced persons or those living in poverty, with disabilities or facing social exclusion – can rediscover their ability to express themselves, to be recognised and to assert their dignity through artistic creation.

Art and creativity thus become spaces for freedom, dialogue and social change.

How can I take part?

The task will be to post a video showcasing a project, an event or an initiative that you have devised, created or carried out to promote peace at local, national, regional and international levels.

You can also express yourself in your mother tongue on the website: collectif-ong-paix.org

Video duration: 3 minutes at most

The video should focus on:

• A work of fiction
• A documentary feature on local initiatives promoting peace
• An arts event centred on the theme of peace

Examples of artistic expression:

• Puppets
• Choirs
• Sharing
• Paintings
• Drawings
• Poems
• And any other art form
