International Day of Peace International Day of Peace

The International Day of Peace takes place every year on the 21st of September. It's an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.

 

How to get involved

Anyone can get involved in any location. Here are some ideas from the International Day of Peace website:
  • Join people throughout the world in one minute of silence this day, and at noon every day, in our common commitment to Peace.
  • Ring a bell, light a candle for Peace.
  • Plan a local event. Use schools, places of worship, libraries, parks, or municipal buildings to host events. Use the day to build partnerships within your community. Involve children.
  • Ask your place of worship to ring its bells for peace at 12 Noon.
  • Incorporate prayer and meditation into your plans. Join with others to create a global International Day of Peace Vigil.
