WORLD PEACE DAY - 21 SEPTEMBER 2008

Information från CISV Internaitonal Office:

It is nearly the annual International Day of Peace and we know that many of you will have organised activities to celebrate the fact. If you haven’t, there are lots of great ideas about what you can do or activities you can get involved with on the International Peace Day website: http://www.internationaldayofpeace.org

If you are doing something, please do not forget to let your local media know about it! Below is a link to a template press release, which you can adapt and use to send to your local newspaper.

If you haven’t had time to organise anything but would still like to highlight the day, why not send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper? Again, below is a link to a template Letter to the Editor that you can adapt. http://resources.cisv.org/docs/main?action=document.viewid=1266#

IJB have designed a handout about Peace Day and CISV, available in English, Spanish, Danish and German at: http://www.ijb.cisv.org/mwiki/index.php/Peace_Day#Tools

We hope you find this information and resources useful. Do not hesitate to contact Denise - our Development Officer (denise.farrar@cisv.org) if you need any help or have any ideas about other resources that would be useful for you.

Please let Denise know what you will be doing for Peace Day and send her any photos afterwards.
