OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
From Soldier to Peace Activist: An Evening with Avner Gvaryahu
We are delighted to invite you to a conversation with Avner Gvaryahu—former Executive Director of Breaking the Silence, peace activist, and recipient of the 2025 Human Rights Award (NIF London). Avner will join us for an open conversation about moral responsibility and activism in times of war. He will share his personal journey, the challenges of speaking out during conflict, and what drives him to continue working for human rights and accountability.
This evening will be a valuable opportunity to meet and engage with Avner Gvaryahu, as well as to connect with fellow OxMEND members.
