NJPN's 48th Annual Conference, 'Just Talk', 24–26 July 2026 at The Hayes, Swanwick. Young adult places (18–35) £150. First come, first served.
What does it actually take to have a difficult conversation well? Not to win it, not to avoid it, to genuinely listen, and to be heard in return. That's the question at the heart of this year's National Justice and Peace Network conference.
The 48th Annual NJPN Conference, Just Talk, takes place from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 July at The Hayes, Swanwick, Derbyshire. The weekend creates space for reflection, encounter, disagreement, curiosity, and the kind of courage it takes to engage respectfully across difference: exploring how language and communication shape, and sometimes distort, our current conversations.
A limited number of places for young adults aged 18 to 35 are available at £150 for the weekend, on a first come, first served basis.
More details and booking are available at justice-and-peace.org.uk/conference.
What is the National Justice and Peace Network?

What does the £150 cost cover?
The young adult rate covers the full residential weekend at The Hayes, Swanwick, including accommodation and meals. Full terms are on the NJPN booking page.
Do I need to be experienced in justice and peace work to attend?
No. The conference welcomes people at any stage of interest or involvement, curiosity is enough to start with.
Is this a Diocese of Nottingham event?
No, it's a national conference run by NJPN. [Confirm: is the Diocese coordinating a group booking, or should attendees book directly?]
