Act Now for a Peaceful World: Centre of Melbourne's Multi-faith and Others Network (COMMON)

Centre of Melbourne's Multi-faith and Others Network (COMMON) invites you to:

Act Now for a Peaceful World | UN International Peace Day 

Date: Sunday 21 September 2025     Time: 11:30am to 3pm
Location: Scientology Community Centre, 231 Mount Alexander Rd, Ascot Vale 

This year marks the 26th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. 

In that landmark declaration, the UN's most inclusive body recognised that peace is "not only the absence of conflict, but also requires a positive, dynamic participatory process where dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are solved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation."

The International Day of Peace has long been a time to lay down weapons and observe ceasefires. But now, more than ever, it must also be a time to see each other's humanity. Our survival as a global community depends on it. For this year's International Day of Peace 2025, the theme is "Act Now for a Peaceful World.".

Let us come together on this important day with a multifaith and multicultural celebrations, and take a meaningful step toward building a more peaceful, understanding and united world. 

A delicious lunch will be served followed by a program with entertainment and presentations.
