Conflict Transformation through Culture: Peace-Building and the Arts

With 2014 marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I, Salzburg Global Seminar chose this commemorative year to focus its “Transformative Power of the Arts Series” on peace-building, peacemaking, and conflict prevention through the arts. To this end, Salzburg Global brought together sixty artists, activists, policymakers, educators, and cultural actors from twenty-seven countries around the world for the session entitled “Conflict Transformation through Culture: Peacebuilding and the Arts” which was convened from April 6-10 at Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg.
