The Peace Day Mural located between the peace-line gates in Northumberland Street was designed by Springboard, in consultation with young people. Workshops were held with over 100 young people who discussed the International Day of Peace and debated what peace meant to them both visually and through words. This feedback was brought into the design of the mural.
2012 is now upon us and like many people around the world resolutions have been made and probably stretched to breaking point already! 2012 will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of Springboard and the 5th year we have been raising awareness of the UN International Day of Peace. Why not join us by signing your support to the campaign in 2012 and make observance of a truly International Day of Peace your lasting resolution!
Here at Springboard, we have organised 4 annual Peace Day observances, events and celebrations. Peace Day however is not something that should just be thought of in September. It is truly something each and every one of us should strive to bring into our life each and everyday. That’s why we are calling on people like you to join with us and unite millions around the world to mark the Day and support the message of non-violence where we live, work, learn and play.
Find out how you can join us in celebrating this special Day.

This short video on Peace Day shows no matter who you are, what you do or how you do it…..you can make a difference on Peace Day, 21st September.
It’s all about doing something to promote non-violence, making us feel safe, secure and free from violence - in our neighbourhoods, in our work, in our schools and on our streets. So join the spirit of Peace Day and raise awareness in any way that you can.
