International Peace Day on September 21

Posting Date(s)

As a consensus value, peace is about freedom from harm, want, and oppression, and promotes safety, prosperity, and quality of life for all. It involves the meaningful engagement of civil society and government in systems, policies, and practices through multidimensional, multidisciplinary, and collaborative efforts addressing justice, equity, poverty, food security, and environmental protection.

On the International Day of Peace (September 21), we are organizing a series of events on the theme, Together for Peace, from sunrise to sunset, bringing together members of the community to advance peace through music and songs, promotion of disarmament, a souvenir giveaway, gentle yoga and meditation for wellness, and a panel discussion. These events are open to all in the community and are held at different locations including 91探花, Holland College, and Victoria Park, to encourage maximum participation.

Building the infrastructure of peace is a long-drawn legacy-building effort that is strengthened with everyone鈥檚 unique contribution. 91探花 is a proud supporter of this peace-promoting initiative. How each one of us promotes peace is reflective of the challenges and the needs in our families and local community. Through the use of art, music, dialogue, discussions, discourses, and collective action, we gain a deeper understanding and broader perspective to reach mutually appreciable agreements, solve problems, resolve conflicts, and build a better more sustainable place for all to thrive and realize their full potential.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given us a wake-up call and presented us with an opportunity to implement new ideas and strategies and collaboratively rebuild stronger while embracing inclusive diversity and furthering gender equity and social justice.
