  • A Film by Jeremy Gilley (2008)
    UNRIC Brussels would like to welcome you to a Special Edition of CINE ONU celebrating UN Day A film by Jeremy Gilley (2008) Synopsis Jeremy Gilley was an actor before he founded Peace One Day in 1999. He had become disillusioned with his work, but understood the potential of film to positively affect people and create change in the world. So when he set out on his near impossible mission in 1999, he took a camera with him. Every journey made, every country visited and every person met – he got it all on camera. Ten years on, The Day After Peace is his story – the story of Peace One Day. © PeaceOneDay The Day After Peace charts the remarkable 10- year journey of award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to establish an annual Peace Day on 21 September. The camera follows Jeremy as he galvanises the countries of the world to recognise an official day of ceasefire and non-violence. But even after the member states of the UN unanimously adopt Peace Day, the struggle isn’t over. As the years pass, there’s not a single ceasefire. The voices of the cynics are growing louder, but Jeremy can’t let it fail. The film’s breathtaking conclusion finds Gilley joined by Jude Law in Afghanistan attempting to spearhead a massive vaccination against polio on Peace Day. Will peace prevail? Will lives be saved? Or were the cynics right? The Day After Peace is a moving testament to the power of the individual and the perseverance of the human spirit. "We must make every effort for the promotion of peace and inner values.

What unfolds in one region has real implications for another. In Europe, increasing political tensions and deteriorating relations between countries caused an overall decrease in the levels of peacefulness. In Syria, South Sudan and Afghanistan, their fragility has never been clearer as our research shows it is much harder to build peace than it is to destroy it. Humanity now has more choice than ever; at any one time we have the ability to develop lethal biological weapons, or to mass communicate messages of empathy and hope. Peace is a perquisite for the survival of humanity - without it we will never develop the levels of trust, cooperation or inclusiveness necessary to solve our global challenges. This year, we have released the Global Peace Index and the Global Terrorism Index to a global audience across 145 countries.

  • Peace One Day, Promethean and British Council Introduce “The Peace Conversation” to Educate Pupils About Peace
    Peace One Day, Promethean and British Council Introduce “The Peace Conversation” to Educate Pupils about Peace Historic collaboration aims to educate pupils about peace and sustainability through new classroom activities, debate and international dialogue. 10 September 2013 – London, UK – An announcement by three leading UK education leaders – British Council, Peace One Day and Promethean – will set the stage for Peace Day, which is scheduled for 21 September 2013. This joint effort seeks to advance the mission of Peace One Day to create a more peaceful and sustainable world. The collaboration joins Promethean Planet’s 1.7 million educators and the British Council’s international network of 40,000 schools with Peace One Day efforts to launch the largest worldwide peace conversation. Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day, acknowledges this incredible opportunity by stressing, “We want young people to truly become the driving force behind the vision of a united and sustainable world. Joining forces with Promethean and the British Council throws the doors wide open for a much larger conversation. We are thrilled by the opportunity to make this September 21st the biggest Peace Day in history.” In order to achieve this, an international class activity for ages 11-18 has been developed that combines technology, purpose and connectivity. The activity will kick off with a 21-question survey seeking opinions from young people; their responses will support “The Peace Conversation” in classrooms. The activity will be promoted internationally through the British Council’s Connecting Classrooms project, a global education programme, which offers funding and resources for institutions, teachers and students, and connects the UK to schools in more than fifty countries around the world.

When the UK won the bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we promised that this ‘once in a lifetime’ event would include a great cultural programme that could involve people nationwide. When we are asked why, we go back to the example of Ancient Greece, where the Olympic Games included artists as well as athletes. As recently as the London 1948 Games, artists were awarded medals along with the athletes. This Festival has invited artists from all over the world to create amazing events from Shetland to Cornwall, from Enniskillen to Edinburgh, from Hackney to Hadrian’s Wall – with more than 10 million FREE opportunities to take part. The Festival would not be possible without our cultural and community partners throughout the UK. But most of all, it simply would not have happened without our great funding partners and sponsors. We offer our huge thanks to them for what we hope will be a fantastic Festival for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. % 1#+-$*%,2*%34-$* 5 Have a fabulous Festival 6 The Director’s cut Director Ruth Mackenzie gives a taste of the Seb Coe Tony Hall Festival programme Chair, London 2012 Chair, Cultural Organising Committee Olympiad Board 8 Where will you be on 21 June?

    PUMA.Peace 2009 00101 2009 02 PUMA.Peace 2009 PUMA.Peace 2009 00303 PEACE ONE DAY For three years running puma.peace has been the primary supporter of Peace One Day‘s One Day One Goal initiative, committing to the project and it’s sustainability. This support has also extended to a One Day One Goal product line, produced to directly benefit Peace One Day. PUMA’s commitment to Peace One Day (www.peaceoneday.org) is based on the organizations’ shared values such as inclusiveness, leadership, passion, and willingness to push boundaries. Peace One Day is a non-profit organisation, impartial and independent of any government, political persuasion, corporation or religious creed. In 1999, preoccupied with questions about the fundamental nature of humanity and the pressing issues of our time, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley launched Peace One Day and set out to find a starting point for peace. The aim of Peace One Day was to establish the first-ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence with a fixed calendar date. The UN International Day of Peace was estab- lished as 21 September every year with the goal of not only creating peace between nations, but also non-violence in our homes, communities and schools. Peace One Day looks to engage all sectors of society, including governments, organisations of the United Nations system, regional and non-governmental organisations and individuals in observance of 21 September, through the practical manifestation of non- violence and ceasefire in accordance with UN GA Resolution 55/282, and encourage action on Peace Day that creates a united and sustainable world.
