On this day last year almost 200 Giant Peace Doves flew on six continents, in 35 countries in more than 100 cities around the world. This year there are Roots & Shoots International Day of Peace celebrations planned in cities across the globe, including a variety of events in the United States and Canada.
Find Roots & Shoots International Day of Peace events in your area.
If you can’t attend a Peace Day event, consider one of the following ways to get involved:
Plan a project or celebration to promote peace initiatives.
· Gather a group of family and friends and write down personal pledges to do your part to make the world more peaceful this year. Save the pledges and plan to meet next year to talk about your progress and renew your pledges.
· Organize and lead a nature appreciation walk to educate your community, friends and family about local flora and fauna.
· Visit our website at www.rootsandshoots.org to find out about other projects that promote peace.
· Plan your own Peace Day event—a parade, a school gathering or a dramatic or musical performance.
Share your projects and Peace Day plans with the world.
· Invite your classmates, friends and family to take part in your project or Peace Day celebration. Post news about your project or celebration in a public location at your school or meeting place. Write to your local newspapers and television stations and tell them about your ongoing peace projects or your successful Peace Day event. Don’t forget to keep us in the loop, too, by emailing us at roots-shoots@janegoodall.org.
