The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of Peace is celebrated on September 21 each year to recognize the efforts of those who have worked hard to end conflict and promote peace. The International Day of Peace is also a day of ceasefire – personal or political – and provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.
The theme for 2013 is “Education for Peace“. The 2013 Peace Day theme highlights education as an important path toward a more peaceful world as well as the crucial need for educational programming specific to the subject of peace.
Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, sitting in silent meditation, or doing a good deed for someone you do not know. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of peace, is immense, and does make a difference.
Imagine what a whole Day of Ceasefire would mean to humankind.!
Take this opportunity to make peace in your own relationships as well as impact the larger conflicts of our time – CESIE is there!
