FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PeaceCast TV Peace Day Webcast to Showcase Worldwide Efforts for Peace LONDON (Aug. 14, 2023) -- PeaceCast TV’s annual video webcast, to promote the International Day of Peace on September 21st, is heating up with content coming in from around the world. 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 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.

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.

Peace Partners are pleased to be affiliated with Peace Talks Cornwall, and are proud to share this report by David Hughes about the success of this event.  Local and Celebrate Life team members with guests at the Burrell Theatre, Truro. In late November, a small volunteer group under the name of Peace Talks Cornwall (in association with Celebrate Life and Peace Partners) held a screening of ‘Power to Change’, a documentary film crafted by Celebrate Life.
‘Power to Change’ traces the lives of six Londoners who have been affected by knife crime, violence and loss. The film goes on to show how these peoples’ lives have since been transformed, in part, by attending a course (the Peace Education Programme) which inspires greater self awareness and understanding. An audience of sixty people gathered at the Burrell Theatre, enjoying a reception prior to watching the film and a Question and Answer session afterwards with a panel comprising some of the filmmakers and directors of Celebrate Life, as well as one of the people featured in the film. Most of the audience represented organisations that serve people in the community, particularly young people who face similar issues to those shown in the film, who may fall into crime through the damaging effects of poverty and exclusion. These organisations were contacted over a period of six months prior to the event before receiving an invitation. After the screening, the panel were inundated with enthusiastic questions from the floor and the session had to be drawn to a close because of time constraints. Since the screening a number of people have asked to join a ten week virtual Peace Education Programme, and there is an enquiry for a live Peace Education Programme in a Community Centre in a local town.
