In a world rocked by conflict, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But all around us are everyday architects of peace – from volunteers to campaigners and civil society leaders – showing us how to take action to reshape our communities for the better.
Message for the 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace
Over the next 100 days, as we count down to the International Day of Peace (marked on September 21), let us honour these changemakers – and take inspiration from their example.
Peace is not just made at conference tables, but in classrooms, neighbourhoods, and everywhere people meet with open minds and open hearts.
Together, day-by-day, we can build a more just world, with compassion, equality and dignity for all.
Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General
