Peace Day 2007
FRANCE

All United Nations member countries agreed to celebrate September 21, The International Day of Peace as a Global Ceasefire and Day of Peace & Nonviolence in our homes, our communities and between nations.

Together we can create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, one heart, one family, one community at a time.

Are organizing (as in previous years for some of us) On September 21, 2006, The International Day of Peace and Non-violence (UN) - and, conjointly, The International Day of Prayer for Peace (COE) -- A PEACE VIGIL from 7-9 pm at the Place de la Republique in Strasbourg. We refer to the origins of this Day “of two lungs” - political and spiritual – and to the two shutters of the Decade 2001-2010: 1) The International Decade for a Culture of Non-violence and Peace 2) The Decade for Defeating Violence of the World Council of Churches (COE). We will make flyers available and there will also be the possibility of signing the letter-petition for the Campaign “Education for non-violence and peace in our schools.”
