Help create the largest reduction of violence on one day -- 21 September, Peace Day -- what we hope will be a world record. On Peace Day 2012, Peace One Day is asking the students worldwide to mobilise and take action. Mass participation is the leverage needed to inspire governments to follow. Watch the videos on this playlist to find out how this movement is growing. We hope you will be inspired to join! Peace One Day and the NUS UK were honoured to welcome student leaders from around the world and key figures to the launch event of the Global Truce 2012 Student Coalition on 27 February in London. We're asking you to begin building your own coalition of supporters and plan how you will come together on 21 September 2012, at your university, in your hometown or wherever you may be. The United Nations are involved in this process. NGOs are involved in this process. But it is the commitment of students and young people to come together in large numbers on Peace Day 2012 that will provide the leverage needed to inspire governments to follow. So please use social media and other channels to help us spread the word and build momentum for this campaign ahead of Peace Day. Share with others what you will be doing on Peace Day. Then, on 21 September, come together in numbers to be part of the largest ever reduction of global violence ever recorded on one day -- a world record.
Peace One Day is working to manifest an annual day of global unity; a day of intercultural cooperation on a scale that humanity has never known.
In the late 1990s, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley and founder of Peace One Day created a documentary about his campaign to establish an annual day of cease-fire and non-violence. And in 2001, Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded when the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted a resolution making the 21st of September . . .Peace Day.
Through the actions of people all over the world, we are proving that the Day is working, that we can save lives. Last year, in Afghanistan, alone, the United Nations reported a 70% reduction in violence on Peace Day, and 1.6 million children were vaccinated for polio.
The next stepping stone on this journey is to reach 3 billion people with the message of Peace Day by 2012.
What will you do to make peace on 21 September?
