International Day of Peace Conference

Sponsored by the Read Center for International and Intercultural Education and the School of Peace and Conflict Studies

The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire. The theme for this year’s International Day of Peace is ‘Peace Education for an Equitable and Sustainable World: Local and Global Perspectives’. As part of our contribution to the Day of Peace, Kent State University will be holding a virtual keynote talk and a one-day workshop on Friday, September 17 and Saturday, September 18.
