International Day of Peace 2019
The wars raging across the planet today – from Afghanistan to Yemen – are stark reminders of the importance of the Mosaic Institute’s work.
Peace is not only possible, but inevitable, when peoples at conflict understand one another’s common humanity, feel mutual empathy, and commit to building a shared future.
Today, 21 September 2019, the Mosaic Institute is joining with the peoples of the world to observe the International Day of Peace. This year’s Peace Day will be especially meaningful for Mosaic: it will also be the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Resolution on the Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace.
The Resolution called on the international community to support “dialogue and consensus-building” and to “promote increased understanding, tolerance, and cooperation among all peoples.” This lies at the very heart of Mosaic’s mission: we advance pluralism in societies and peace amongst nations, by bringing together people, communities, and states, to foster mutual understanding and to resolve conflicts.
We are proud of the work Mosaic’s community of donors, volunteers, partners, and colleagues carry out every day of the year to foster a culture of peace. International Peace Day is our opportunity to thank you for being part of this journey, and we look forward to welcoming every person ready to join us.
