International Day of Peace

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day to strengthening the ideas of peace, through observing 24 hours on non-violence and cease-fire. This day can be marked in schools by discussing the importance of being kind and showing respect to animals, people, and the environment.
