The newly founded International House Association is pleased to announce the new Global Forum Series. For the 2025-2026 Global Forum Series, the theme will be Pathways to Peace: Lessons in Reconciliation. The Global Forum will convene leading thinkers, scholars, and practitioners to discuss one of humanity’s most profound challenges and greatest hopes: the ability to reconcile after conflict. Through this series, the audience will hear from diplomats, historians, philanthropists, and others who witnessed and shaped these turning points in history. They will also highlight the role of International Houses around the world in the reconciliation of conflict. Join these upcoming events to connect with a global community and participate in cultural exchanges. All events will be live-streamed for global audiences.
