The International Day of Peace

Dear Friends,

We would like to wish you Happy Peace Day today and encourage you to join people all over the world in making a change on a big or small scale.
We want to ask you if you dare to make a difference today and try something you didn’t do before.

Please make an attempt to create peace in your own environment and/or within yourself.

What can you do to make peace?

Be aware of what is happening around you
Organize an action
Meditate
Promote and practice non violent ways of communication
Give some people free hugs
Pray
Plant a tree that symbolizes peace
Look for information about conflicts
Talk with your friends, family and neighbors
Write something about peace and send to your friends
Sing for peace

We would also like to share with you today’s experience from Romania Summer University where we sang together ‘We shall overcome’ and organized a FREE HUGS campaign in Sighisoara.
Caroline: it was an awesome experience to see how small things can really make a change. English and Italian tourists were very enthusiastic and one Romanian woman was very happy and blessed me for having made her day.

The International Day of Peace, established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly, was first inaugurated on the third Tuesday of September, 1982. Beginning on the 20th anniversary in 2002, the UN General Assembly set 21 September as the now permanent date for the International Day of Peace.
