Press cartoonists gathered at the Council of Europe for the World Forum for Democracy, November 2019 © Sandro Weltin – Council of Europe
Cartooning for Peace is an international network of committed press cartoonists, who fight with humour for the respect of cultures and freedoms.
Press cartoon uses off the wall humour to denounce and to reflect on the world’s current events. We conceive press cartoon as a major and essential tool to build a dialogue between the various cultures and religions.
Our organisation seeks to promote fundamental freedoms and freedom of expression through laughter, tolerance and respect of diversity. Cartooning for Peace also aims to promote and establish dialogue between drawn opinions throughout the world.

Cartooning for Peace uses cartoons sent by member cartoonists of the network for the organisation’s exhibitions, teaching materials, website and media partnerships on various themes relating to fundamental freedoms and freedom of expression. Cartooning for Peace regularly offers cartoonists to take part in conferences, debates, workshops in school, out-of-school and prison settings as well as meetings with the public, in Europe and around the world.
Cartooning for Peace is committed to keep informed each cartoonist of the organisation’s news and current events, of the use of his or her cartoons and to enhance his or her editorial work within the network as part of its editorial and media operations.
