Global Peace Education Day
EMPOWERING EDUCATORS FOR PEACE
Campaign : United Nations Global Peace Education Day
Although the United Nations has established more than 150 international days for different humanitarian themes, there is no day dedicated solely to the theme of peace education.
Because peace is central to the UN’s mission, a special day should be declared to promote peace education throughout the world.
Please join our campaign for an official UN Global Peace Education Day.
Purpose
- To campaign for an official UN Peace Education Day
- To host an annual Global Peace Education Conference
- To demonstrate the positive impact of peace education upon the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- To assemble a global network of peace educators
