Changemaker-weekend 2025: Peace in Pieces?

Changemaker Weekend Autumn 2025: Peace in Pieces?

This autumn’s Changemaker Weekend will take place at the Hvittorp Course Center in Kirkkonummi from October 10th to 12th!

Under the theme Peace in Pieces? we’ll explore the future of peace and peacebuilding. How can we build just peace in a world where conflicts and human rights violations are becoming more and more common? Where can we find hope and action for peace?

During the weekend, you’ll learn about just peace from a human rights observer who has volunteered in Palestine and hear insights on youth, peace, and security. You’ll meet young peacebuilders from different networks and get the chance to take action together for just peace. Plus, you’ll connect with amazing Changemaker volunteers from across Finland. This is an event you don’t want to miss!

The Changemaker Weekend is open to young people and young adults aged 13–35 who are interested in advocacy and global justice. It’s a great opportunity to get to know Changemaker’s work and meet other young people from around the country. No prior knowledge of the network or global justice issues is required to participate.

The camp will be organized in Finnish and English. 

Participation is free for Changemaker members, and travel costs will be reimbursed after the camp. Non-members are asked to pay a participation fee of €30, which covers meals and accommodation. You can easily and freely join the network via our website or the registration form.

The event is organized by Changemaker, a youth advocacy network operating under Finn Church Aid. Changemaker empowers young people to advocate for global justice and critique unjust power structures in Finland and globally. The network is politically independent and open to all worldviews.

Registration will open in September.

You can cancel your registration free of charge during the registration period. After the deadline, cancellations without a valid reason will incur a €30 cancellation fee.
