This April Issue of the Mayors for Peace News Flash features some of Mayors for Peace initiatives promoting the culture of peace. We hope these examples will inspire your city to implement initiatives promoting the culture of peace.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the Month for the Culture of Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

We encourage your cities to celebrate one particular month of the year as the \u201cMonth for the Culture of Peace\u201d holding a variety of cultural events to raise peace awareness among citizens. The aim is to have them think about the importance of peace through music, fine art, and other forms of art expressing desire for peace, as well as through sports and other activities that emotionally connect people across language barriers.<\/p>\n

The City of Hiroshima, since 2021, has designated November as the \u201cMonth for the Culture of Peace.\u201d This Month sees a variety of events under the theme of the culture of peace held intensively in cooperation with private sector companies and groups of citizens. These events include, for example, lectures on the culture of peace and stage performances and art exhibitions by youths.<\/p>\n

See \u201cMonth for the Culture of Peace 2022\u201d <\/a> by the City of Hiroshima (in Japanese).<\/p>\n

Organize Events to Commemorate the International Day of Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

We recommend your cities organize outreach activities and commemorative events on the UN\u2019s International Day of Peace, which is observed on September 21st every year, to have as many citizens as possible share in the wish for the abolition of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
