International Day of Peace.

Peace. To the sounds of live world music, the
flags of each world nation are presented on stage

country, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
Hear from Commissioner Mona Noriega and other
leaders striving to build a Culture of Peace in
our city. Find out what's happening with peace
education in our schools. Enjoy cultural
performances and observe the Minute of Silence for
Peace with the Chicago Consular Corps, students,

It is difficult to find extensive listings of the many events celebrating the International Day of Peace around the world. An exception is the United Religions Initiative which lists events for the IDP 2014 by their affiliates in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, United States and the Philippines.
