Arkansas Peace Week

Online Event

Each year Arkansas Peace Week includes numerous events, hosted by dozens of organizations throughout our state. These events featured education, service and outreach activities promoting peacemaking, non-violence, social justice, ecological stewardship, and community building.

The 2025 theme for the International Day of Peace is “Act Now for a Peaceful World”. In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace. From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.

There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and off-line, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.

We invite organizations and individuals to host a Peace Week event or include peace related curriculum in your programs during Arkansas Peace Week.

Please visit our website www.arkansaspeaceweek.com or our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/arkansaspeaceweek for the latest information. Email arpeaceweek@gmail.com with questions.
