If you were at the Adelaide Film Festival in
February of this year, you would have seen the completely inspirational
documentary "Peace One Day". Since then a dedicated team of people from all over
Adelaide have been going crazy bringing together all sorts of events, liaising
with Peace One Day Screening Chelsea Cinema, Kensington Road, Kensington - 5pm Wednesday 21st September Thanks to sponsorship support from the Department of Environment and Heritage, we are putting on a free screening of Peace One Day followed by an opportunity for discussion and networking on how we can further the Peace One Day movement in Australia, how Australia can play an active role in promoting peace both globally and locally and future International Day of Peace events and initiatives that will promote a sense of peace and intercultural cooperation within Australia and that demonstrate to the global community our commitment to peace. Michael Luenig will be the keynote speaker, plus there will be an opening performance by Drum Atweme and the Gilles Street Primary School Taiko Drumming group. A drinks and coffee bar is being run by Fad Bar. Starts 5pm, film on at 6.

Limited places for this year, so please contact Deb at deebmyzy@yahoo.com.au to register your interest. Schools for Peace 10am - 12.30pm Torrens Building, 220 Victoria Square, City There was no way we could celebrate and raise awareness of Peace One Day without involving the kids! Together with Save the Children, the Global Education Centre and DECS we have come up with a mini festival for primary school children, involving activities around the themes of peace, environment, unity and culture. There will be an opening ceremony with Drum Atweme and the Gilles Street Primary School Taiko Drumming group, several activities and a closing ceremony. 6 schools will be involved for this inaugural event. A Schools for Peace Information Pack including curriculum advice and activity ideas so even the schools not attending the event at the Torrens Building can still honour the day by doing activities within their school and classroom. If you have any feedback, questions, suggestions or comments, please let us know via the email address below, and we hope to see you at the events! Deb, Tanya, Dan and Nic - peace@yhasa.org.au
