Peace Days
An initiative of the Peace Network for Social Harmony
The Peace Days initiative takes place every year from the September 21st International Day of Peace to the October 2nd International Day of Non-Violence.
Since 2015, the Peace Network for Social Harmony has been conceptualizing and organizing Peace Days in the Montreal region. We gather the efforts of a variety of community, cultural, educational, philanthropic and other partners to offer programming that encourages everyone to take concrete action for peace.
PROGRAMMING
Each year, our partners offer a program for all audiences: roundtables, webinars, exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and interfaith, artistic and family activities. The majority of these activities take place across the city and are free of charge. Organizations and businesses are also encouraged to host or organize an activity.
Peace Days create wonderful opportunities for community connections, exchanges, education and awareness raising.
Working Together for an Inclusive Society
Peace Days, 10th edition
At the Peace Network for Social Harmony, we define peace as the presence of healthy relationships based on trust, respect, understanding, equity and reciprocity. We are convinced that peace does not just happen randomly, nor does it happen by itself.
Building a peaceful society is the result of mobilizing the individuals who form that society. Each of our individual and collective actions has a direct impact on our social fabric and our shared living environments.
The theme of the 2024 edition of Peace Days highlights the need to work collectively, in collaboration for a society in which everyone finds their place and has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Peace Days 2024 also emphasizes the need to create spaces where diverse and complementary approaches and perspectives can demonstrate their effectiveness in deconstructing obstacles and in building a more just, harmonious and inclusive society.
Let’s build peace together!
