Peace Day Events
MASSACHUSETTS

The International Day of Peace has been a focal point for community-uniting and peace-inspiring events since its inception in 1981. If all of the events and activities that have taken place for the International Day of Peace over the years were to occur on this International Day of Peace, it would be the greatest day in all of history. This ongoing pictoral archive represents just a tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands of events and activities that have taken place. It is meant to inspire you to organize or participate in a peace-building event in your community on the International Day of Peace or during the countdown to Peace.

SHEFFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
2005- Teachers at Undermountain Elementary School used the month of September to broaden students understanding of peace. Students created hundreds of peace doves to hang in the lobby; kindergartners created a peace tree and a peace symbol was hung each time a student demonstrated an act of peace, love or kindness. Teachers in many grades read books about peace with their students fifth graders hung peace cranes; and the sixth graders wrote about what peace means to them; the Peace One Day video promo was shown in every classroom on September 21 followed by a Minute of Silence for peace.
