Organization Description
Peace One Day looks to engage all sectors of society, including governments, organizations of the United Nations system, regional and non-governmental organizations and individuals in observance of 21 September, through the practical manifestation of non-violence and ceasefire in accordance with UN GA Resolution 55/282, and encourage action on Peace Day that creates a united and sustainable world.
In 2008 Peace One Day will engage with communities through the following activities:
* Film * Annual Celebration * Football * Education * My Take on Peace * CommitmentsIn 1999 filmmaker Jeremy Gilley decided to try and establish the first ever Day of Peace with a fixed calendar date. In September 2001 the Member States of the United Nations unanimously adopted the first-ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence—Peace Day, 21 September.
Peace One Day now works to create global awareness of the day and manifest life-saving activity and individual action throughout the world on September 21 each year.
The day is working. Lives are being saved and individuals are making commitments.
If you want to watch the full story, not only of how the day was created but also how lives were saved in Afghanistan and beyond, then purchase your own copy of The Day After Peace featuring Jude Law, Angelina Jolie, the Dalai Lama, Annie Lennox, Kofi Annan and Jonny Lee Miller here.
