We invite you to take part in activities and programs to celebrate International Peace Day and the importance of peace. Peace in the world, in our homes, on our streets, and in our lives as individuals. The UN International Peace Day is about empowering individuals to become advocates of peace at all levels – family, community, society, nation state and globally.
To assist this process we have provided links to some websites with resources and ideas on how you can take part in this locally and globally.
The websites below provide an abundance of resources and ideas to assist with planning for peace day activities for educators and individuals.
