Our latest shop window display is showcasing the Normandy for Peace initiative led by the Normandy Region since 2017.
The Normandy for Peace initiative is the result of the Region’s desire to continue the work which began in 1945 to promote remembrance in Normandy and to become a laboratory for lasting peace. During the World Forum and throughout the year, initiatives, certified projects and events promote the values of peace and freedom which are so important to Normandy.
The next edition of the World Forum will take place in Caen on 9 & 10 April 2026. Themed “(no) Hope for Peace”, the Forum will host conferences, debates, youth workshops, screenings, and the Village for Peace. Find out more about the 8th edition right here and discover what some Jersey students had to say about the 2024 World Forum right here.
