The 2022 Global Peace Education Day Conference

Civil Society Leaders Call on United Nations:
Declare a GLOBAL PEACE DAY!

NEW YORK. Leading peace advocates, diplomats, educators and artists gather online Tuesday, September 20 to insist that the United Nations make Global Peace Education Day an annual United Nations event. The conference spotlighted the success of peace education in transforming lives of individuals and communities around the world, even in the face of the war, pandemic and climate change. Last year more than 1,500 people attended from 86 countries.

The Global Peace Education Network, year-old global collaboration, is taking grassroots action to share skills, know-how, and best practices to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development goals. It includes the Global Movement for the Culture of Peace, Fundación Cultura de Paz, Spanish Federation of UNESCO Associations and Clubs, Malaga Club of UNESCO, International Institute for Peace Education, Global Campaign for Peace Education, Institute for Economics and Peace, Pathways to Peace, IONS, The Prem Rawat Foundation, the National Peace Academy, Unity Foundation, PeaceChannel.com and a growing number of others. The Global Peace Education Network promotes cooperation, resource sharing and information exchange about peace education strategies, structures and curricula.

Gabriela Ramos, UNESCO Assistant Director General for Human and Social Sciences will chair the event. “The search for peace may be as old as humanity itself,” she says. “Peace cannot be secured through economic and political cooperation alone. But it must be nurtured through the everyday elevation of the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes needed to understand, appreciate and cooperate across differences.” She continues, “We learn war, and we learn peace. If viruses can learn and spread, then we can learn and spread peace.”

Screen actor Michael Nouri will host the Global Peace Education Day event. “If we prepared for peace the way we prepare for war, we wouldn’t be in this mess,” he said. “That’s why I’m an ambassador for Seeds of Peace, preparing young leaders around the globe to be ready for peace with training, skills, knowledge and experience to build a peaceful world.”
“I was honored to be the inaugural speaker for a Global Peace Education Day” says Ambassador Anwarul Chowdhury, former UN Undersecretary General. “As human beings we must empower ourselves to contribute more effectively to bring inner as well as outer peace. This realization has now become more important, especially for women, youth and children, in the midst of the ever-increasing military expansion that is destroying both our planet and our people.” The ambassador has served the United Nations as UN Under-Secretary-General, president of the UN Security Council, the UNICEF board, and high representative of the UN, advocating for the most vulnerable countries of the world.

“For me, to assemble a global network of peace educators is very important, because it allows us to establish a culture of peace,” said Tunisia’s Nobel Peace Prize recipient Ouided Bouchamaoui. “Peace Education must be widely accepted by all nations, societies, and cultures. They require the abilities and knowledge to foster peace.”

“A United Nations Global Peace Education Day will provide a transition from a culture of imposition, domination and war to a culture of encounter, conciliation, dialog, alliance & Peace,” said former UNESCO Director General Frederico Mayor Zaragoza. “We need educators who can educate in a culture of peace and non-violence. We know that our earth faces an irreversible threat but now we the people will act to prevent all this by implementing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.”

Global Peace Education Day speaker Kehkashan Basu was only 12 years old when she founded the global Green Hope Foundation to educate her peers about the Sustainable Development Goals. She is a Climate Reality Mentor, former Global Coordinator for Children and Youth, UNEP MGFC, and a UN Human Rights Champion. “The way we facilitate peace education is to empower women in underserved communities to drive change. We’ve just opened a sewing school where women and girls make masks, clothes, bags and sell these products to earn their livelihood.

“We no longer understand the simple need to be kind. Even in environments that should be full of love, full of encouragement, full of understanding, you find that people are fighting,” said keynote speaker Prem Rawat, founder of the Peace Education Program which partners with governments, NGOs and volunteers in more than 70 countries. “On the other hand, you have a Peace Education Program in India’s Telengana State that closed down five prisons! The people that were released did not come back. This is what the Peace Education Program has done.”

I am Mojima Etokudo from Akwa Ibom State in southern Nigeria, West Africa. I came in contact with May Peace Prevail on Earth International then World Peace Prayer Society in 1995 at the age of 19 during my short course on music at the National Theological Academy Ukanafun in Akwa Ibom State as a circular musician. I became Interested about the philosophy of the organization which centered on peaceful coexistence with all race and I applied for membership through regular mail.

In 1996, one of my musical album with the title “Give Them Right” was dedicated to the World Peace Prayer Society.

I was involved in various activities geared towards the promotion of the universal Prayer for world Peace “MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH” I also engaged students in our local schools and youths in our community on peace club, raising the consciousness of Peace on young people on the need for peace among their fellow human being and all life on Earth.

I 2001, I was recognized as the official Nigeria Peace Representative for the World Peace Prayer Society now May Peace Prevail on Earth International.

In 2002, I was privilege to participate at the All African Peace Representative Conference in Accra, Ghana, in this conference, the international president of May Peace Prevail on Earth International Mr Hiroo Saionji, the then Executive Director Rev Deborah Moldow, the Germany Representative Mr Patrick Petit, the Minister of Finance in Ghana and many others across the world.

It was a great privilege to meet other Peace Representative and Peace Enthusiasts at the conference.

In 2003, we organized our first United Nations International Day of Peace Celebration in Nigeria at Ukanafun Local Government Council Hall which has in attendance, Religious leaders, Legislators and other Political leaders, Traditional Rulers School Children and the media. Peace Pole was planted in front of the Ukanafun Local Government council Secretariat and other leaders in attendance receives it Desktop Peace Poles.

Since then, we have been celebrating yearly the UN International Day of Peace across Nigeria and many Peace Poles planted in schools, private homes, please of worship, Palaces of some Kings in the area and over 1000 Desktop Peace Pole to many in Nigeria and the Palestine during my trips to Israel and the Palestine.

When I recalled my pains as an orphan who lost both parents at the age of 8 and 14 years old without government scholarship to go to school and Family feeding support, I think of the downtrodden in the society and mostly the hinterland, we build in as part of our UN International Day of Peace activities to raised funds to trained the vunrable on Free Skill acquisition which we have successfully trained 50 young people on various trades and equipped some based on our available resources.

More would have been done but no sponsorship from the government of Nigeria and I hope we will have their support in the future so we can do more for humanity.

I pray for international support and locally to do more for humanity.

Founded in 1993 by journalist John Wallach, Seeds of Peace is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence.
Over the last decade, Seeds of Peace has intensified its impact, dramatically increasing the number of participants, represented nations and programs.
From 46 Israeli, Palestinian and Egyptian teenagers in 1993, the organization still focuses on the Middle East but has expanded its programming to include young leaders from South Asia, Cyprus, and the Balkans. Its leadership network now encompasses nearly 4,000 young people from several major conflict regions. Currently, the organization is actively working in the Middle East and South Asia.
The Seeds of Peace internationally recognized program model begins at the International Camp in Maine and continues through programming in regions around the world through innovative initiatives in the form of conferences, regional workshops, educational and professional opportunities, and an adult educator program. This comprehensive system allows participants to develop empathy, respect, and confidence as well as leadership, communication and negotiation skills — all critical components that will facilitate peaceful coexistence for the next generation.
