Coventry’s RISING Global Peace Forum has been hailed a major success in helping to mobilise global influencers in efforts to deliver more positive cultures and peace around the world.

This year’s Forum was held as a virtual online event due to Coronavirus restrictions and provided a powerful platform for high-profile speakers on the ‘Culture of Peace’ theme.

Advent attracted national exposure for the event which included speaker interviews on prime-time BBC Radio 5 Live and Times Radio, and articles in The Church Times and Press Gazette, and was supported with social media over the three days.
