PEACE AND COMPASSION FORUM

…Conversations that Inspire Connection, Kindness, and Community
‘Peace and Compassion Forum‘ (PCF) is a community-rooted initiative by MGPCO that brings people together through talks, panel discussions, and intimate Peace Cafés, sparking conversations that cultivate kindness, bridge divides, and nurture a more compassionate society. Grounded in Gandhian values, each gathering is an invitation to listen deeply, connect authentically, and take small but meaningful steps toward healing and harmony.
