To create a vehicle of social change through the mayors' office using the good offices of the International Association of Educators for World Peace through its World Citizenship Challenge and the www.homeplanet.org website, culminating in world-wide events in the Year 2000 at the millennium complex in Greenwich England coincide with the Tenth World Peace congress of the IAEWP and other special events.
The IPC Programs asks the question: "What are the qualities of an International Peace 2000 City" of citizens of the world. This program was officially launched at the United Nations Peace Day September 16th 1997.
One of the qualities of an International Peace City is the celebration of particular events:
They are designated under the IPC 2000 label - FOOD FOR THOUGHT
March 21st Spring Equinox - Earth Day - Peace the 21st
March 22 World Water Day
April 7th World Health Day
April 22nd - The other Earth Day
May 15th - International Families Day
June 5th - World Environment Day
June 21st - Summer Equinox - Peace the 21st
August 9th - World Indigenous Peoples Day
September (Third Tuesday) - International Peace Day
September 21st - Fall Equinox - - Peace the 21st
October 24th - United Nations Day
December 21st - Winter Equinox - Peace the 21st
December 31st - World Healing Meditation
Of course there are many more days to celebrate, and every community will choose to celebrate these days in such fashion as their local community chooses.
Would it not be wonderful to have a celebration for every day in the calendar?
The choice is up to you, on your street, in your city, in your province, in your region, in your country, on the planet we share which is called by world citizens - HOME.
Let us celebrate together.
