2nd October – United Nations „Day of Nonviolence“
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
The World March for Peace and Nonviolence now aims, incooperation with many organisations, to make a Human Peace Sign on Miklatún 2ndof October.
This day is the United Nations´s Day of Nonviolence as well as being the birthday of MahatmaGandhi. On this day also the actual World March will take off in
Wellington,
New Zealand.
This act consists of a great number of people lining up with torches in hands to make a big Human Peace Sign (see the attached photo of a Peace Sign made in
Budapest last 6th of August in the memory of the victims of the nuclear bombings on Hirosima and
Nagasaki)
The idea of a Human Peace Sign relies on associations and individuals to make themselves responsible for a certain number of participants. We will sell tickets beforehand at 500 kronur in exchange of which the participants will get on one torch when they arrive to the event. There are already some organizations that have confirmed participation in this project.
