2025 is an anniversary year for World Village Festival, as it will be 30 years since the first-ever festival and the 25th time for the festival to take place. The theme selected for the anniversary year is Peace.
 
Talks and discussions at World Village Festival explore peace from a broad perspective. What is the role of women, youth and people with disabilities in peacebuilding? How can peace be achieved around the world? What is the significance of veganism, artificial intelligence or LGBTQ+ rights in peace work?
