Peace Partners is privileged to be a member of the Global Peace Education Network.  We all say we want peace, but what does it really take to make it happen? What can we learn that will help us live in peace? With ourselves? With each other? With our planet? The virtual Global Peace Education Day Conference is on 20th September. This year’s theme is Human Rights - Empowering Children, honouring the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Registration is free. There will be over 20+ speakers, including Prem Rawat, the founder of The Prem Rawat Foundation and the Peace Education Programme. The conference will explore the ways in which peace education helps give our children a voice and a choice.
Peace Education is very important. If young people are brought up to see antagonism and conflict as a normal part of life, it makes it so much harder to choose peace as a default option. It takes a conscious approach to foster the understanding that peace is a culture of prosperity and well-being, and that combativeness leads to suffering and hardship.

Recent contributions curated from England, France, Italy, Malaysia, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Mexico, Colombia, the US and Australia among others will be featured with their own unique country PeaceCast, and freely offered online. Included in this country lineup is the FIRST NATIONS PeaceCast, in recognition of their sovereignty, guardianship of humanity’s natural resources, and protection of the environment. “Action for Peace,” the United Nations Peace Day theme, reflects the heightened urgency many around the world are feeling to resolve conflicts and live in peace. These country PeaceCasts exemplify expressions of this human desire for peace by shining light on peace-building efforts, actions large and small, in countries around the world. PeaceCast TV’s webcast is being promoted by the Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), named “the number one influencer and change agent among peace building institutions worldwide.” Liz Hume, executive director, said, “AfP is a proud supporter of PeaceCast TV 2023 as it strives to promote International Day of Peace...(with) stories about everyday people and organisations working to build peace and prevent conflict, both in faraway places and in neighbourhoods just down the street.” Also promoting PeaceCast TV is Peace News Network (PNN), a media outlet covering news in conflict areas from a peace building perspective. PNN focuses on inspiring stories “about people taking risks for peace…ordinary people who want non-violent solutions to their political differences.” Peace News founder, Dr. Babak Bahador says, “The challenges for peace-builders today are enormous. The International Day of Peace is a chance to refocus and double our efforts towards ending wars and building positive peace around the globe. We are pleased to partner with PeaceCast TV in this effort.” Established in 2010, PeaceCast TV is an international, all-volunteer association which scales up to present its annual promotion of Peace Day on September 21st. It uses the YouTube platform to provide a non-religious, non-political video stream that attempts to connect the dots between the fundamental human necessity and hope for peace and its influence on many social issues and fields of human endeavour FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PeaceCast TV Solicits Content for Peace Day Broadcast: PeaceCast 2023 Worldwide Contact: Dr. Michelle Spinella Director, PeaceCast TV mspinella2@yahoo.com +01+919-931-4866 EDT LONDON, ENGLAND - June 27, 2023 PeaceCast TV is gearing up once again to provide and make available exceptional video content for the International Day of Peace on September 21st during its annual PeaceCast. This content will be offered free of charge via the PeaceCast TV website and YouTube channel so it can be viewed, shared, uploaded or broadcast online through local and national media outlets. The theme of this year’s Peace Day, as announced by the United Nations, is “Actions for Peace: Our ambition for the #Global Goals.” It is a call to action that recognises our individual and collective responsibility to foster peace. Thus PeaceCast TV invites civic, corporate, educational and social entities to contribute to PeaceCast 2023 Worldwide with short YouTube videos (under 10 min.) that reflect this theme and showcase efforts to make a positive impact in the world. New this year, there will be many individual country PeaceCasts, curated by local teams around the world that will feature videos of culturally relevant content for different regions and be made available for their Peace Day celebrations.

Dr. Michelle Spinella Director, PeaceCast TV mspinella2@yahoo.com + 919-931-4866 EDT COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE ‘PEACECASTING’ ON PEACE DAY 2023 PeaceCast TV is gearing up for this year’s International Day of Peace (Sept 21) with an array of new ‘in-country curators’, a fresh, updated website, and a new wave of energy driving PeaceCast 2023. This year many individual country PeaceCasts, curated by teams around the world, will showcase videos of culturally relevant content and be made available for Peace Day celebrations. Along with these country streams, PeaceCast 2023 will also stream its usual international playlist of humanitarian, environmental and peace-related content, highlighting videos from these countries. The curators will source content from YouTube for their country’s unique PeaceCast. Anchoring this innovation are teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Other countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Malaysia, Australia, and USA will also be “peacecasting.” PeaceCast TV is an international, all-volunteer association set to scale up their annual promotion of Peace Day after more than a decade of streaming content to connect the dots between the fundamental necessity of peace and many social issues and fields of human endeavor. “We’ve worked hard at our goals for many years and it’s heartening to finally see teams worldwide showcasing their country in the context of peace, rather than the narrow mainstream news representation of peace as the absence of war,” said PeaceCast TV director, Dr. Michelle Spinella. “The time feels right post-Covid and the lockdowns with people more aware of their planet and their fellow citizens. The ‘possibility of peace’ is a theme not just to be celebrated, but to strive for actively and believe in. We hope to create more awareness of the necessity of peace, now and for our future. Celebrating the International Day of Peace endeavors to promote this awareness and to recognize peace builders and peace lovers everywhere – ‘to make peace visible’.” If you would like to identify YouTube videos from your country to be included in this year’s PeaceCast 2023 contact information is provided above.
