With the day in place, Peace One Day’s objective is now to institutionalise Peace Day, 21 September, making it a day that is self-sustaining, an annual day of global unity, a day of intercultural cooperation on a scale that humanity has never known. With the support of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Peace One Day is currently engaged in a three-year project focusing on the Great Lakes region of Africa. This campaign seeks to engage with all sectors of society in the region, encouraging all parties to stand together in the name of peace and manifest action on Peace Day, 21 September. As well as this, Peace One Day utilises the unifying power of sport and culture through our five initiatives: One Day One Goal, Try For Peace, One Day One Dance, Set For Peace and Move For Peace. These initiatives aim to bring people together to celebrate and raise awareness of Peace Day. Peace One Day Education aims to inspire young people to become the driving force behind the vision of a united and sustainable world by advancing active learning in the areas of reconciliation, intercultural cooperation, and global citizenship – using Peace Day, 21 September as a focus. 3 With the generous support of Campaign in the Great Lakes region of Africa 2014-2016 Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya Jeremy Gilley “When you build a house, you start with one brick.

Walking is a fairly complicated affair! Hardly does one ever consider how complex taking one step is until one watches a child take her first steps. As it turns out, the art of walking, taking more than one step while remaining upright requires that one foot is forever implanted on the ground, keeping us grounded in the familiar, while the other takes a leap, into the unknown, all the while maintaining balance to keep upright! For End Child Poverty, this last year presents precisely such endeavor, taking accelerated steps, pushing our boundaries and comfort zones while making sure to remain grounded and focused on our founding objective to end child poverty.

  • 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.
