The Academic Forum for Peace is being designed as a multidisciplinary conference considering the relationship between the theory of peace and the broken realities of politics and international relations. To regard this matter only from an economic, juridical or strategic-defensive viewpoint is not sufficient. In this context, the theological and philosophical aspect cannot be disregarded, because all the sins against humanity – war, violence, victimization of all kinds – are the results of the resignation of a holistic and regulative vision of a world participating in the eschatological and transcendental Peace. This vision of heavenly Peace brings selfless love and forgiveness, but cannot be identified with any political system or social order. That’s why Christians and Muslims have failed to make society in their ideal images. Both of these religions are looking for a proportionality between the theory and praxis of peace. In this endeavor will surely take into account all non-negotiable rights, principally religious freedom, which is assurance of respect for all other freedoms. The Conference, featuring lectures and panels that focus on finding ways of building a more peaceful world, give the opportunity for positive re-shaping interreligious and intercultural relations and it might be able to provide new models of coexistence and cooperation for ministries of peacemaking. The keynote speakers of the Forum will be Metropolitan Kallistos Ware and Professor Tariq Ramadan.  The Conference is held under the patronage of the Rector Magnificus of the University of Wroclaw.
