Each
year, PTP submits a comprehensive report to the UN, documenting the
annual growth of Peace Day and a global culture of Peace.
In
2008, we completed two new websites, one the International Day of Peace
and one for the Culture of Peace Initiative. The sites feature a
global, year-round calendar of Peace events:
http://www.internationaldayofpeace.org
http://www.cultureofpeace.org (features an online Peace community)
More Projects:
Our
Peace Day Calendar program has led to numerous partnerships and "Peace
Day" marked on millions of calendars around the world!
"The Joan
Kenley" show is dedicated to sustainability, co-creating health, and
inspiring listeners with conversations ranging from the personal to the
global.
Peace Building Through Business - Our mission is: To
inspire the practice of sustainable Peace as a natural expression of
business in the 21st century.
We also take part in UN
conferences and take part in Peace Day planning meetings with
peacebuilding partners at the UN. (see http://pathwaystopeace.org/archive.html)

PROGRESS: Has your organization
seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain
of action and in your constituency during the second half of the
Decade? |
Each
year, more events are documented in our report and there is a growing
adoption of Internet tools, media and newsletters, all of which help
put the spotlight on the International Day of Peace. This strengthens
awareness for communities around the world who celebrate Peace Day and
nurtures a year-round culture of peace. We've documented
significant highlights of Peace Day events and organizations, many of
whom have been heavily involved with Peace Day in the last few years on
the International Day of Peace website:

|
OBSTACLES: Has your organization faced any obstacles to implementing the culture of peace and nonviolence? If so, what were they?
|
There
is a lack of understanding of what constitutes a "culture of peace",
which we promote, and explaining the many pathways to peace (which we
highlight through our Peace Wheel). There is also a need to bring
attention to the strong relationship between these diverse pathways to
peace and everyday acts, which are the foundation for a culture of
peace. Consistent funding is an ongoing challenge.
|
PLANS: What new engagements are
planned by your organization in the short, medium and long term to
promote a culture of peace and nonviolence? |
|
GLOBAL MOVEMENT: How do you think the culture of peace and nonviolence could be strengthened and supported at the world level??
|
The
United Nations Millenium goals could greatly expand participation of
each of the campaigns "eight sectors", which will lead to a more
measured awareness to building a culture of peace. Through the
coordinated efforts of the Millenium goals campaign, UNESCO and the
Culture of Peace Initiative (www.cultureofpeace.org), there can be more
UN NGOs and civil society organizations to carry forward and implement
the commitments for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence. Social
media, which much of the world's youth are engaged with, could be more
greatly utilized as an educational and organizing tool
