What happens when the world accomplishes a billion acts of peace in ten days? We are going to find out, thanks to a global experiment called #DoItForPeace.
On September 21st, which is the International Day of Peace, two global nonprofits, Kids for Peace and Peace One Day, joined by the Good News Network, will launch #DoItForPeace, a worldwide campaign to ignite one billion people to take action for peace.
#DoItForPeace will begin lighting up the world on Peace Day when 1000 ‘Ignitors’ complete their act of peace, share it on social media (tagging it with #DoItForPeace), and then invite five friends to do the same. By using simple math, at the end of ten days, 1.2 billion people—over 10% of the world’s population—will have taken a stand for peace.
The ten-day initiative is led by two global nonprofits with a combined 30 years of engagement in world-changing activism. Kids for Peace, with its peace-building network of 10 million youth in 121 countries, developed the vision for #DoItForPeace, and is leading the experiment. Joining them will be Peace One Day, the organization founded in 1998 by Jeremy Gilley, the British filmmaker who was the mastermind behind the United Nations’ unanimous decision to adopt the first-ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, now known as Peace Day – September 21.
Several dynamic events will fuel the ten-day campaign, from sea to sky. Kids will form their own peace signs during launch…
