​This Symposium was part of over 5000 nationwide gatherings for this year’s UN’s Global Peace Day, whose theme is “Cultivating a Culture of Peace.” As in past years, we focused on Peace Within, Peace With Each Other and Peace with the Earth. The goal was to build and strengthen networks of local and national peace practitioners. We seeked to achieve this end by fostering an Interactive and Creative Time featuring the public. There wase Round Table discussions, local organization panels, live-streamed Speakers, Collaborative Art-making and Cultural Celebrations.
