The United Nations' International Day of Peace - marked every year on September 21 - is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to promote peace between all living things. Established in 1982, "Peace Day" has grown to include millions of people around the world who participate in all kinds of events, large and small.As Dr. Jane Goodall is one of ten UN Messenger’s of Peace, the Jane Goodall Institute (Singapore) is coming together with several other local NGOs including UNIFEM Singapore, ACRES, WWF Singapore, SPCA, SEC, NSS, Student Care Services, and more to celebrate this special day.
Participants can create iconic peace doves out of recycled materials before the event and then fly them around Singapore on the Day of Peace. This celebration seeks to spread messages of harmonious interactions with animals, the environment, and people in a very positive and inspiring way.
Join us on 21 September for a Peace Dove Parade, entertainment celebrating peace.
