All

International Day of Peace as a Global Ceasefire and Day of Peace &
Nonviolence in our homes, our communities and between nations. Peace

events since its inception in 1981.

Wong, Eric; Hong Kong: I am currently initiating a Culture
of Peace photography project in Hong Kong with The Chinese YMCA
of Hong Kong, in dedication to both The International Decade for
a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of The World
as well as the International Day for Peace and Ceasefire that takes
place on 21stSeptember. The idea of this project is to gather 105
photos based on the guidelines of the Manifesto 2000 drew up by
a group of Nobel Peace Laureates. We deliberately decided on choosing
105 photos to echo the 105th anniversary of The Chinese YMCA of
Hong Kong this year, and the theme of the year is "Care & Harmony".
We are encouraging people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to
participate in this project, so as to signify the philosophy of
"Thinking Globally and Acting Locally". In conjunction to this project,
we will sponsor some digital cameras for those who are financially
incapable of buying one but have the passion and enthusiasms for
this project, also we will be holding photography workshops and
seminars to talk about the concept behind this project as well as
introducing the Banner of Peace. www.peacethroughunity.info/banner_ofpeace.html#proposal
After the selection process of photographs,
all selected works will be used to produce a collage and a short
film for exhibition at different venues in Hong Kong. The opening
ceremony for the exhibition will take place on 21stSeptember2006
in dedication to The International Day for Peace and Ceasefire.
A photo album/ poster will be published at a later stage for the
purpose of fund raising for the follow up programmes, as well as
spreading the message of The Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for
the Children of The World to a wider public. I believe the intention
and the actions taken to gather people from around the world to
contribute their ideas, thoughts and activities in dedication of
world peace is something we must reinforce and strengthen in order
to bring about a culture that overcomes all the differences among
us, a culture of the heart. So that our next generation could grow
up and live in a harmonized and safe society.
