Peace Conversations Podcast: Explore Peace in Action
To mark this year’s International Day of Peace (21 September 2025), whose theme was “Act Now for a Peaceful World,” Service Civil International (SCI) has launched a new podcast series: Peace Conversations.
Produced in collaboration with the podcast Talks&Cakes, this series explores what peace looks like in practice—through personal stories, activism, and dialogue.
