The celebrations are promoted by associations, national offices and UN ambassadors, although countries, regions or municipalities are free to organize events.The involvement of Western Europe and the post-Soviet space stands out, where more festivities were celebrated, with an emphasis on educating children in peaceful values, for example, through games and awareness workshops.The celebrations range from citizen rallies, literary readings and mural painting, to concerts or conferences.For their part, celebrations in African countries often focus on reducing violence, injustice or human rights violations.The International Day of Peace should not be confused with the School Day of Non-violence and Peace, an educational initiative launched in Spain in 1964, and recognized by the UN, which is practiced every January 30, on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.For its part, the Catholic Church celebrates the World Day of Peace on January 1, which Pope Paul VI instituted in 1967.Since you're here, we wanted to tell you about something...
