Invitation by the founder Tom Oliver

"The World Peace Festival in Berlin will be a celebration of peace for people of all ages. It will also inspire and empower people to be more at peace with themselves others and the environment.

As long as we believe that war is inevitable, we will continue to have war. As long as we believe - that it is right to use violence to further our goals, we will continue to have violence.

The purpose of the World Peace Festival in Berlin is to shed light on one of mankind's most current challenges and most pressing problems: The urgent need to put an end to war.

We will demonstrate that this path to peace can be taken by every individual. We will provide practical tools - Tools for Peace. Those will be simple exercises anyone can do.

If we reach a critical mass of people who are practical idealists, who believe that the ends do not justify the means, if we reach a critical mass of people who refuse to go to war for the sake of peace, religion or politics, we can have peace. If we reach a critical mass of mothers who refuse to send their sons to war for the sake of peace, religion or politics, we can have peace.

If we as individuals become the change we want to see in the world, we can have peace.

We now invite YOU to become a part of this unique event!"
