CHICAGO,

THE
PEACE SCHOOL held a Peace Day Celebration including cultural performances
of dance, music and theater. The highlight of the day was a Call to
Peace for all the countries of the world. A minute of silence was
observed for World Peace, followed by non-denominational prayers for
World Peace directed at specific nations and areas of conflict around
the globe. To connect with the UN's International Day of Peace they
asked the Chicago Mayor to proclaim September 7th through 21st as
Peace Days in Chicago. They also scheduled various peacebuilding activities
in Chicago public schools for the week preceding the International
Day of Peace, featuring art projects such as "Mandalas for Peace in
the World", or "Gratitude to Nature".
