 Inspired by Jeremy Gilley’s personal drive and determination through his Peace One Day organisation, coupled with our desire to contribute to reconciliation and a sustainable peace, we have launched a local campaign to increase public and civic observance of this international day of ceasefire and non-violence.
Our campaign aims to raise awareness of the origins of Peace Day and engage all sectors of society in observance of the International Day of Peace on 21st September each year.

The Peace Day Campaign reaches its first century!
Since 2008, over 100 individuals, groups, politicians, community groups, schools, churches and public sector organisations have now joined Springboard’s Peace Day Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to create a talking point about the International Day of Peace, which takes place every year on 21st September, across every Member State of the United Nations.
Peace Day is both a day of celebration and reflection: celebration of the amazing steps we have all taken towards peace, and reflection on how we all have something to contribute to this international day of ceasefire and non-violence. 2008 was an important first year of the Peace Day Campaign: the campaign is growing in numbers and gaining momentum, and 2009 will see even more events and activities in the name of peace. We invite you to join the campaign and see how you can get involved in the International Day of Peace 21st September 2009.

 During a truly remarkable journey, Jeremy Gilley, peace activist, secured international support and agreement from UN Member States in 2001, to adopt a resolution to observe the International Day of Peace on a fixed day every year – 21st September.
The resolution: "Declares that the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day...
“Invites all Member States, organizations of the United Nations system, and non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate, in an appropriate manner, the International Day of Peace, including through education and public awareness, and to cooperate with the United Nations in the establishment of the global ceasefire.” |
