Peace education, gathered around the UN calendar.
GPEN events celebrate meaningful United Nations days related to peace education. Our primary annual event takes place on September 20—the day before the UN International Day of Peace—and we advocate for its recognition as an official Global Peace Education Day.
Ideas, voices and performances worth carrying forward.
Alongside Global Peace Education Day, GPEN highlights other UN Days that meaningfully relate to the concerns of peace education. Watch any collection directly, and open the program where detailed schedule or speaker information is available.
