International Peace Day Crafts and Activities
The United Nations dedicated September 21st as International Peace Day. This day emphasizes the right to peace and education about peace for everyone in the world. The goal of international peace is worth a day of celebration and is worth thinking about all year round.
To inaugurate the day, the United Nations Peace Bell is rung at UN Headquarters (in New York City). The bell is cast from coins donated by children from all continents except Africa, and was a gift from the United Nations Association of Japan, as "a reminder of the human cost of war"; the inscription on its side reads, "Long live absolute world peace".
