Peace Day is celebrated each year on 21 September. Its birth in 2001 was the result of an initiative carried out since 1999 by actor and movie producer turned activist Jeremy Gilley through the NGO Peace One Day.

Peace One Day is now active in promoting a day of global truce each 21 September. This year, Peace One Day and Swiss-based NGO Interpeace sponsor a Global Truce NGO Coalition. The coalition, through a wide array of projects, will provide a unique opportunity for organizations across the world to build a foundation for long-lasting peace.

The Global Journal will feature two projects each week until Peace Day on 21 September. Let the countdown begin!
