Reconciliation, Celebration, Collaboration in the London Week of Peace
The London Week of Peace is an annual event celebrating community, diversity and cohesiveness in the capital, this year running between 9th and 16th September. This year’s theme is reconciliation, celebration, collaboration and there are loads of local events in and around the capital to get involved with.
If you’re sporty, there’s the 5km peace run, if you’re literary there’s the Poetry Competition. There’s also a Peace Concert and Talent Quest, as well as Peace Awards and various local events in each borough. Backed by the Peace Alliance, the idea is to bring people together and talk honestly, reminding people of what they have in common and of the need to work together to improve community ties and facilities. Its aims fit in very well with local green initiatives and permaculture groups, so maybe those of you involved in these kinds of groups should reach out and involve yourself here too, using the opportunity to reach the wider community.
