International Day of Peace
International Day of Peace
The International Day of Peace, championed on September 21st each year, is like a global peace parade. Hosted by the UN, today promotes – yep, you guessed it – peace and unity among nations and individuals. On this date, the UN calls on all nations to observe 24 hours of ceasefire and non-violence globally.β¨
At a local level, weβre all invited to join anti-war marches, educational programmes exploring the meaning of peace from an individual and collective perspective, or simply find an avenue throughout the day to bring more peace into our lives and the lives of those around us. Peace thrives when people from different backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives come together to promote understanding and cooperation. This day serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of our shared responsibility to work towards a more inclusive and peaceful future for all.β¨
