Promoting
a Culture of Peace
and Non-Violence
  for the Children
    of the World
What’s the UN all about?

  “To save succeeding
  generations from the scourge of
  war.” - UN Charter

  Have you ever wondered if there’s
  a vaccine to prevent war? Let’s call
  it a culture of peace.
What is a Culture of Peace?

  The UN says that a culture of peace
  is a set of values, attitudes, and ways
  of living that
    reject violence,
    prevent conflicts by uprooting their
    causes, and
    solve problems through dialogue and
    negotiation among individuals, groups
    and nations.
How is peace built?

 “Since wars begin in the minds of
 men, it is in the minds of men that
 the defenses of peace must be
 constructed.”      - UNESCO Constitution

 Guess what? The ‘E’ in UNESCO means
 education. The men need lessons about
 peace … and also women and kids.
Manifesto for a Culture of Peace

 People called the year 2000
    a new beginning
    a new opportunity
  to turn the culture of war and violence
  into a culture of peace and non-
  violence.
Manifesto for a Culture of Peace

 The UN’s Manifesto 2000 for a culture of
 peace and non-violence was drafted by a
 group of Nobel Peace Prize winners to
 translate the resolutions of the United
 Nations into everyday language and to
 make them relevant to people everywhere.

  Good idea. Let’s make peace something
  we can all understand.
Manifesto for a Culture of Peace

Share with others.

That was years ago!

Some people have been working for
peace for 10 whole years. Some have
been working a lot longer.
It can keep you busy your whole life.




                         UN photo
Peace is still a distant dream.

In many parts of the world, peace is still a
distant dream, and children suffer from
conflict and violence. Do we give up working
for peace?
A UN General Assembly resolution at the
beginning of 2010 called for renewed effort by
the UN, its Member States, and civil society,
including non-government organizations.
That means all of us.
What makes peace grow?

           According to the UN:
                peacekeeping
                peacebuilding
              preventing conflicts
                  disarmament
           sustainable development
   promoting human dignity and human rights
                   democracy
                 the rule of law
               good governance
                gender equality
Nations can

 do more to promote a culture of
 peace and non-violence
    nationally,
    regionally, and
    internationally.




                              UN photo

                                 UN photo

  teach about mutual understanding,
  tolerance, active citizenship, human
  rights and a culture of peace.




                                UN photo
Young people can

 promote a culture of peace and non-
 violence, and tell everybody about a
 culture of peace.




                               UN photo
Each of us can

  plan activities to
  support and fill in
  the gaps in what
  nations, the
  United Nations
  another other big
  organizations are
  doing.

                  UN photo
TV, radio, and the Internet can

  educate for a culture of peace and
  non-violence by using the Culture of
  Peace News Network of Internet sites
  in many languages.

We can all join in and

  observe 21 September each year as
  the International Day of Peace — as
  a day when people stop fighting.




                              UN photo
Help spread the word.

  The UN wants to hear about what you
  and I are doing to help a culture of
  peace and non-violence grow.




                              UN photo
What does all this mean?

  Make peace your focus.
  If you’re doing good things for peace,
  keep it up.
  We’re all on this planet together, so
  why not work together?
  Let’s learn from each other and
  spread the word.
