DISARMAMENT & SECURITY .<\/p>\n

An article from the International Cities of Peace<\/a><\/p>\n

International Day of Peace, September 21st of each year, was created by a United Nations Resolution in the 1980s and has grown to become a day of global celebration, education, and reflection on peace in local communities and throughout the world. During Peace Week, Sept. 15-21, families, friends, organizations, as well as cities, towns, and villages across the world gather and break bread together in a Global Feast for Peace.<\/p>\n

Sharing food together in celebration of friendship and common interest is a tradition as old as the human family. The Global Feast for Peace is part of the U.N. sponsored International Day of Peace, celebrated around the world on September 21st each year. Whether it\u2019s a small family celebration or a large community gathering, the Feast for Peace is a simple and profound expression of peace that everyone, no matter how humble or blessed their circumstances, can connect with and enliven the global celebration. Feast for peace!<\/p>\n

Who can participate?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Families, neighborhoods, communities, and cities
\n\u2022 Organizations, including faith-based, interfaith and secular
\n\u2022 Businesses, both for-profit and not-for-profit
\n\u2022 Schools from nursery schools to higher education
\n\u2022 Anyone who wishes to express their wish for peace<\/p>\n

What to do?<\/p>\n

Join together during International Day of Peace or during Peace Week. The gathering can be a formal lunch or a group potluck where people bring a dish and share. Other events can be planned before, during, and\/or after the Global Feast, including bell ringing, speakers, musical events, meditations and prayers, moments of silence and other activities that foster a culture of peace.<\/p>\n

When to celebrate and plan?
\nEach year, there are thousands of celebrations around the world. Planning for the Global Feast should begin weeks or, better, several months ahead in order to involve as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

Where to have the Feast?
\nThe place for the Feast can be as small as a family dining room or as large as an amphitheater. One person can even Feast for Peace at home!<\/p>\n

Why plan a Global Feast?
\nTo come together as members of the human family; to honor those who have worked and who are working today for a more peaceful world; to encourage the next generation of peacebuilders. The Global Feast for Peace is a thanksgiving of the peace we have and to inspire actions to foster a culture of peace during the coming year.<\/p>\n
