Global lessons and activities 2009: Peace and conflict

Global lessons and activities and the International Day of Peace, 21 September

The topic for our IB global lessons in 2009 is peace and conflict. We invite IB World Schools to join in taking part in these lessons – specially written or selected - and in other activities relating to peace and conflict.

We encourage you to join with others all over the world with lessons or activities on (or around) the International Day of Peace, 21 September. In this way our actions as individuals and schools form part of the IB community’s and the world’s response to this important issue.

Read the UN Secretary-General’s message for the International Day of Peace 2009.

Peace One Day tells the story of how 21 September was designated the International Day of Peace.
