The International Day of Peace
Every year, the Keeling-Puri Peace Plaza recognizes the International Day of Peace celebrating the diversity and cultural heritage of our community. What, Where, When, Why? What: The International Day of Peace provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of Peace on a shared date. Use the International Day of Peace annually to highlight the Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, 2001 to 2010. When: Annually, 21 September - The International Day of Peace Where: Wherever you are. Who: You and all who care about building Cultures of Peace for the children of this and future generations. Why: To mark our individual and collective progress toward building Cultures of Peace, and serve as a reminder of our permanent commitment to Peace, above all interests and differences of any kind. Individuals and Nations, acting in concert, DO make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions, our environment and our planetary future. Through cooperation, we manifest the essential Spirit that unites us amid our diverse ways. The International Day of Peace, established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly, was first inaugurated on the third Tuesday of September, 1982. In 2002, the UN General Assembly set September 21 as the permanent date for the International Day of Peace.
