AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN PEACEWEEK
A global telesummit for building a culture of peace
September 14-21, 2010
Dear Friends,
The Partner Cities Network of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions invites you to be a part of PeaceWeek. A co-production of The Shift Network and The Peace Alliance, PeaceWeek will be held in conjunction with the UN International Day of Peace on September 21. The conference will feature over 50 leading international peacebuilders, pioneers, and innovators, and offer opportunities for participants to learn and dialogue with each other. PeaceWeek will unite peace leaders from around the world together for the largest virtual peace summit ever formed. The featured participants will address issues such as personal peace practices, global hotspots, social justice, and the economics of peace. The event will also host a Peace Day Council with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers on a mission of peace.
Please send this invitation to all of your Partner City colleagues, Pre-Parliament Event organizers and attendees, and any of your networks that are involved in the interfaith and peacekeeping movement so they can participate too!
Register today at www.peaceweek.info to reserve your spot among the global movement of peace pioneers! Registrants will be able to participate for free. Join us for one live call or all of them! Even if you can't make any live events, register to obtain full access to the library of recordings.
The Partner Cities Network is also proud to partner with Odyssey Networks in “A Million Minutes for Peace” campaign. Our goal is to collect one million pledges to pray for peace for one minute at noon on the UN International Day of Peace. Please watch the 60-second video, and join us by pledging your prayer for peace. To view the video in Spanish click here.
