Playing For Change | Peace Through Music

Playing for a change is a very important project started to encourage Peace through Music.

The act of playing music with people of different cultures, religions, economics and politics is a powerful statement. It shows that we can find ways of working together and sharing our experiences with one another in a positive way. Music has the power to break down the walls between cultures, to raise the level of human understanding.
~ Mark Johnson, founder, Playing for Change

Peace One Day

The UN International Day of Peace on 21 September every year is about creating peace between nations, it’s about non-violence in our homes, communities and schools. Therefore Peace Day is relevant to every human being on the planet.

Remember Peace starts within ourselves.

In the late 1990s, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley and founder of Peace One Day created a documentary about his campaign to establish an annual day of cease-fire and non-violence. Some years later, in 2001, his efforts were rewarded when the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted a resolution making the 21st of September . . .Peace Day.

Please check the homepage of this wonderful initiative and how this idea was born in the video below. The story told by Jeremy Gilley himself.
