International Day of Peace

21 September

The United Nations' (UN) International Day of Peace is celebrated every year in recognition of the efforts of individuals, organisations and governments who aim to end conflict and promote peace. It is a day of ceasefire - both personal and political - when we can overlook our differences and focus on the healing power of peace. Activities include 'planting trees for peace', going on a 'peace walk', and creating a shared 'peace-work of art' using found objects and re-usable materials.
