By Working Together We Can Create Peace One Day
Institutionalising Peace Day and making it self-sustaining is everyone’s legacy. In 2012, Peace One Day began the process of building coalitions with the different sectors of society to support our ultimate goal of institutionalising Peace Day.
The following global coalitions consist of member organisations that are committed to activity on Peace Day and to engaging their networks around the world. These coalitions provide organisations within each sector with an opportunity to unify their messages and activities in support of Peace Day, thereby achieving greater impact. In addition, the Schools’ Network is an opportunity for educational institutions and teachers to come together in support of Peace Day. Membership of these coalitions and the Schools’ Network is growing rapidly.
In 2013, through initiatives and collaborations with various parties, Peace One Day will set out to encourage organisations and individuals to take specific actions to reduce violence around the theme:Who Will You Make Peace With?
Corporate Coalition
In order for Peace One Day to maintain and increase the growth of Peace Day activity around the world a new level of engagement is needed from the corporate sector. Corporations can unlock consumer ability to become a lobbying force, as well as leveraging key contacts with opinion formers and business leaders, etc. This is an opportunity to contribute to society in a positive way. A low, fixed annual membership subscription and a commitment to mobilise their consumer base and workforce will enable corporations to benefit from their association with Peace One Day across a number of platforms and become part of the team that will undoubtedly institutionalise Peace Day around the world.
