From the network of Mayors for Peace, we encourage municipalities and entities committed to the culture of peace to commemorate the International Day for Peace (September 21) and the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (September 26), remembering that all our actions can contribute to making a better world.
From 21 to 26 September, social networks were filled with messages and photographs from various municipalities and entities filling in the poster with the message “Peace is…”. The images were accompanied by messages claiming the role of local action and the commitment they have for a peaceful future. All of these messages were accompanied by the hashtag #CiutatsdePau or #PeaceDay.
In this way, we want to claim the role and importance of action at the local level for the construction of peace: the promotion of the culture of peace, human rights, memory, and coexistence; disarmament; solidarity, and cooperation.
