About Carnall Peace Award. Imagining Peace: A night of poetry and music celebrating peacemakers
Join us for our annual Carnall Peace Award which this year goes to Cloud and Accucilia Maboudi who have been working with young people in Zimbabwe to bring a message of peace to a new generation through sport and poetry. We are also taking this opportunity to celebrate around the world and to reaffirm our commitment to working for peace in our own lives and communities, locally and globally with a night of poetry and music.

- Mark Birkett who will talk about P&J’s new peacebuilding projects working with young people
- Peace poetry from members of Scottish PEN, an organisation fighting for the right to freedom of expression for poets and writers across the world.
