International Day of Peace 2010



La Fille à la Fleur. Marc Riboud

The International Day of Peace 2010 is tomorrow, the 21st of September.

It is a global call for ceasefire and non-violence. This year, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is calling on young people around the world to take a stand for peace under the theme, Youth and Peace for Development.

Think about it, speak about it, to your colleagues, to your friends, to your family, to your children. Write a poem, say a poem, sing a song, light a candle, go to an event...

Men have always been fighting but I have a dream it can be different. Do you?
