On 20 January 2025, the Strategy Meeting of the PeaceBread movement was held in Berlin. There were 26 participants from 8 countries.

The working groups put forward proposals for the next period of activities of the Peaceful Movement.
The main thrust is to involve more youth entrepreneurs and young entrepreneurs in rural areas. Sustainable agriculture, the sustainable use of the natural environment and ensuring social development in rural areas will be the main themes.
Future conferences will aim to create better opportunities for participants to interact and exchange experiences, and visits to farms will be organised.
