A survey by CPNN<\/p>\n

We list here 274 events in 12 European countries that were listed in Google during the week of September 21-28 under the key words \u201cInternational Day of Peace\u201d, \u201cJourn\u00e9e Internationale de la Paix\u201d, \u201cDia Internacional de Paz\u201d, \u201cDia Internacional da Paz\u201d, “Internationaler Tag des Friedens”and “Giornata internazionale della pace” or were listed on the websites of International Cities of Peace Facebook<\/a> and the website of the Collectif de 21 septembre<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In addition to these, over 300 events are listed on the maps of One Day One Choir<\/a> and Montessori schools singing for peace<\/a>, but there is no indication which took place this year and which took place only in previous years. <\/p>\n

No doubt there were also many events listed on the Internet in the various national languages in Europe other than those for which we searched.<\/p>\n
