As you may be aware, the United Nations has since 2001 declared September 21 of every year as the International Day of Peace. A day set aside to advocate and promote non-violence and cease-fire across the entire globe.
2017 Peace Day theme: "Together for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All", draws attention to the promotion of respect, safety and dignity for everyone forced to flee their homes in search of a better life.
Our organisation, Galaxy4Peace has over the years been at the forefront of promoting this initiative of the United Nations in Nigeria. Commemorating this year’s International Day of Peace, Galaxy4Peace is excited to announce our annual ‘Sweat4Peace’event which is now in its 4th year.
Marking 2017 peace day event in Lagos, Sweat4Peace will bring together the private sector, civil society, academic institutions and individuals to advocate for peace through a socially binding experience of physical exercises and interaction.
This year Sweat4Peace will feature - aerobics, dance and football, with the primary focus of enlightening participants and the public on the need for one to be proactive in sustaining a peaceful environment while calling and reminding them of their communal humanity.
Our target for this year is to mobilize 1000 people who will join the global community to highlight their solidarity with refugees, migrants and show support to them while engaging in 2017 Peace Day Event in Lagos.
