From Peace One Day

FOREWORD FROM JEREMY GILLEY Three months to go to Peace Day,21 September. Given that today is World Music Day, we thought there is no better time to tell you about two brilliant new films we are launching, both with music and culture as strong themes. The first is our ‘Get Involved’ film, demonstrating creative and exciting ways that Peace Day has been marked in the past, including through music and culture. Watch thishere if you are looking for inspiration for your own Peace Day event! Our second new film is also strongly music related, and highlights our One Day One Dance initiative, a hugely popular campaign that continues to grow each year. This film will get you dancing on 21 September! Watch ithere. Today we are also excited to launch Sounds of Peace, a music based initiative in partnership with Musicians without Borders. It shows how powerful music can be in bringing people and communities together. Full details can be found by clicking on the link on the right hand side of this newsletter.
