Background & Introduction

Established by U.N. resolution in 1982, "Peace Day" has grown to include millions of people around the world who participate in a wide variety of events, large and small. Since it's inception, The International Day of Peace has been a focal point for Peacebuilding organizations to showcase, educate and advocate on behalf of the solutions they offer. Over the years, September 21st, Peace Day, has become an uniquely intergenerational and inter-community event, engaging all sectors of society including: governments, faith and non-faith groups, non-profits, universities, businesses & non-governmental organizations.

In the past few years it’s been a day of global ceasefire, which has had a tremendous impact on millions of children, especially in Afghanistan, who’ve been immunized from polio and had food delivered on this day. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected through technology, Peace Day is being adopted as a day to unite the world community on the most urgent issues of our time: climate change, the environment, hunger & poverty, social justice, & human rights. The Peace Day Broadcast is a means for further connecting these groups and educating people around the world, in support of that effort the official Peace Day 2010 Broadcast Social Community is now open at www.peaceday.tv, feel free to join here.

The 2010 Peace Day Broadcast will feature live feeds from celebrations around the world starting Peace Day weekend (September 17th) intermixed with segments on the important work of our Peacebuilding partners and socially-responsible sponsors. Entertainment from people such as Annie Lennox, Yuval Ron, and Peter Gabriel will be interspersed with Youth Peace Ambassador celebrity interviews with Michael Franti, Joan Baez and others.

The broadcast is centered around the 8 United Nations Millenium Development Goals which have triggered unprecedented efforts worldwide in the fight against poverty, hunger, disease and environmental destruction. New technologies designed for improving all sectors of our society will be featured, such as "Play Pumps," a low cost solution where children play on Merry-Go-Rounds while providing water for entire African Villages. Rocket Stoves for increasing health while also decreasing demands on indigenous forests, and new ICT (Internet Telecommunications Technology) for increasing access to education, sharing culture, and improving health from Tele-medicine.
