WHAT DOES A CULTURE OF PEACE LOOK LIKE?
How do we shape our perception of peace? And how has the concept of peace evolved from the post-war era to today?
This video documents a panel discussion with Bishop Kari Veiteberg, film director Erik Poppe, and former Education Union leader Steffen Handal. They explore the concept of peace from various societal perspectives, examining how faith, values, and ethics influence our worldview. The discussion is moderated by Gitte Sætre and Ingeborg Breines.
Visual artist Gitte Sætre has engaged in various peace-building initiatives, and this discussion is part of her project Act 5: CULTURE OF PEACE. The project will culminate in a 15-meter-long peace frieze inspired by the frescoes in Oslo City Hall and the civic art that supported social democracy and the Norwegian model.
The peace frieze is part of a larger process addressing the increasing desperation experienced by civilians worldwide. The global systems in place are failing to prevent or stop destruction. What do we do?
What does peace mean to you? When you hear the term culture of peace, do you envision Picasso's famous Guernica painting? Or do you imagine a complete transformation of arms factories and the UN Security Council? Peace is not a fixed concept and varies across perspectives, cultures, and time periods.
Director Kjersti Fløgstad of the Nobel Peace Center welcomes you to this event, highlighting the political ambitions and practical measures necessary to break the culture of violence's grip on individuals and society. The civilian population, like elected officials, are the building blocks of society, bound by a social contract involving legislative, judicial, executive, and media powers. What power lies within civil society?
