DAY OF PEACE 2011: Make Your Voice Heard

DAY OF PEACE 2011: Make Your Voice Heard

Young women and men everywhere are demonstrating the power of connection by reaching out to each other, and rallying together, in the common cause of the dignity and human rights to which their peoples aspire.  

For this year's International Day of Peace observance on September 21, the UN has chosen the theme of "Make Your Voice Heard," under the overall idea of peace and democracy.  

Each year, the Universal Peace Federation and its Ambassadors for Peace around the world organize commemorations of the International Day of Peace. 

"To encourage worldwide, 24-hour spiritual observations for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace, 21 September in every house of worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world."

Thank you.
