International Day of Peace

Once again our students, guest speakers and staff at United World International School gathered to celebrate the International Day of Peace (September 21st). What is the International Day of Peace? The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982. Earlier this week students have been working on their art projects and delivering unique messages on “What does Peace mean” to them. We are happy to have more than twenty nationalities representing here at UWIS and once again happy to celebrate our diversity and integrity on this special event!
