Let’s turn our minds to what we can organise locally.

There is a great opportunity coming up to build the peace movement by supporting or creating anew a powerful local event on the International Day of Peace. We’ve got all the resources you could want - and if something is missing, let us know!

International Day of Peace (September 21)

September 21 is the International Day of Peace, first celebrated in 1982 and recognized annually by many nations and organizations, including day-long pauses in wars that reveal how easy it would be to have year-long or forever-long pauses in wars. This is a good day on which to work for permanent peace and to remember the victims of war. We’ve collected events you can join, and resources you can use to support those events or to organize new ones.
