International Day of Peace

Imagine a world free from war and violence. Unfortunately history has woeful tales of war for most civilizations. In 1981 the International Day of Peace was created by the United Nations General Assembly.  Twenty years later, the General Assembly voted to designate this day as a time of world wide peace. Their mission was to have a time of cease – fire. All nations are invited to participate in this day of observance.

In 2013 the Secretary – General of the United Nations dedicated  International Day of Peace as a day to focus on world peace. The awareness this day creates for peace is solely devoted to the hope that the occurrence of war can be reduced. It is observed annually on September 21.

Annually the Peace Bell of the United Nations is rung in New York City which is the UN official headquarters. The bell is made from coins that were donated from children across the globe in numerous continents. An inscription on the bell reads “Long live absolute world peace”. The United Nations Association of Japan dedicated the bell as a gift and as symbol of the cost of human life caused by war.

Today with all people around the globe sharing the common enemy, Covid 19, coming together as a unified species to defeat a silent killer is more important than ever. International Day of Peace is the perfect day to put aside all differences and ponder what is important to man kind. In many parts of the world people are struggling with violence and harshness that is unspeakable. The unification brought about by the International Day of Peace can be a catalyst to the slowing of war and indifference.

There are several ways to recognize International Day of Peace.

  • Competition –  There is no better way to display peace and respect than by creating a friendly sporting event. When teams compete against each other in a friendly game of some type, a good deal of fair play, camaraderie and peace can be created.
  • Team-Building Activities – Many companies host sales and team building sessions on a routine basis. Why not create one that has a theme of global peace or at least peace in the office.  This is great way to bring people together and and have them let down their defense mechanisms for some friendly non threatening enjoyment.
  •  Poster for Peace – Did you know there is an official poster of peace? Yes the United Nations publishes the International Day of Peace Poster. If you are a school teacher or Sunday school teacher you can print the poster and use it as a discussion topic. What a great way to increase awareness.
  • Talk with Children – Teaching children the meaning of peace is critical to the future. As adult role models, parents, teachers, coaches and other older people have an obligation to help children grasp the meaning of a peaceful society and an appreciation for International Day of Peace. Since children are our future, educating them about peaceful relations can bring about positive change in the world.
  • Moment of Silence –  As with many solemn occasions, International Day of Peace offers the opportunity for everyone around the globe to stop at noon for their region and be silent for one full minute. How you choose to spend that moment of silence is up to each individual. Some meditate, others pray for those that have given their lives in war and still others simply find joy in sharing the honor of such a day.
