This March of Peace, which is part of the International Day of Peace on September 21, decided by the UN 20 years ago, will be repeated that same day in dozens of cities in France, as well as in many foreign countries.
It intends to demonstrate the will for peace which drives many of our fellow citizens, in France and elsewhere. Isère does not intend to be outdone of this fine ambition, undoubtedly the noblest of all.
This march also aims to put pressure on our government to sign (finally) the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TIAN) adopted by a majority of States in 2017, but snubbed by our country until then. All that is needed is the signature of six countries for this treaty to have binding legal force at the international level. Now is not the time to relax our civic effort …
The more of us there are on this occasion, the greater will be our political force.
We will be free to bring the banner of our imagination, or even our favorite musical instrument.
Naturally, in doing so, we will respect all the prophylactic rules imposed by the current epidemic: protective masks, distancing; we will occupy all the space that will be suitable for this purpose.

The association Agora Aveiro is back to street actions. This Monday, in order to mark the “International Day of Peace”, the members of the association promoted an action that consisted of placing 1,000 paper “tsurus”, small origami, in one of the most popular streets in the city, Rua dos Merchants. This intervention is related to the story of the Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki. Shee was only 12 when she died of the effects of her exposure to the Hiroshima atomic bomb. While she was hospitalized, she got to know the legend of the thousand “tsurus” and the wish she could see fulfilled. Sadako cultivated the hope that the gods would grant her healing and then went on to make origami. She died on October 25, 1955, before completing the thousand “tsurus”. Sadako turned out to be the symbol of the civilian victims of the nuclear war. “A child, like so many others, victims of a war she didn’t understand”, lament the elements of Agora Aveiro, in the information panel that accompanies the installation of the “tsurus”.

Wales universities, UK
WALES UNIVERSITIES, UNITED KINGDOM
Today, on World Peace Day, every university in Wales has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, along with the Learned Society of Wales, the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the Welsh Centre for International Affairs, leading to the establishment of Academi Heddwch Cymru. Academi Heddwch Cymru’s aim is to extend Wales’ strong tradition of peace-making and peace-promotion. By developing and coordinating an independent community of researchers in related fields, Academi Heddwch Cymru will work to place peace firmly on the national agenda. On the international stage, it will become part of a global network of peace institutes.
As well as participating in a global initiatives to create ‘paper cranes’ marking #PeaceDay2020 with WCIA (Welsh Centre for International Affairs) and UNA (United Nations Association) Exchange’s youth volunteering partners worldwide, the International Day of Peace will also be marked by 2 exciting new projects looking to the future: the launch of Academi Heddwch, a Peace Academy network for Wales; and the start of a new research programme into the ‘History of Welsh Internationalism‘ between WCIA, Aberystwyth & Swansea Universities, and the Academi Heddwch network. The Peace Cranes initiative that WCIA and UNA Exchange are participating in alongside our global partners in the International Volunteering Alliance, CCIVS and UNESCO, is inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki – a child survivor of the Hiroshima Nuclear Bomb on Japan. Sadako set out to create a thousand paper cranes, wishing for a world without war – but following her death from radiation poisoning in 1955, children (and adults alike) have continued her wish worldwide to this day.
Members of the WCIA team and volunteers each created cranes to form a colourful sculptural ‘flock’ reflecting WCIA’s peace pathways – 7 themes of internationalist action (remembering war, opposing conflict, offering sanctuary to refugees, championing women and equalities, building international solidarity, inspiring future generations, and working in collaboration).
