Dear UNESCO ASPnet School,

We warmly invite your school to join the first Global Peace Circle® Day on 21 September 2025, the UN International Day of Peace.

🌍 On this day, schools and communities around the world will come together to create Peace Circles – symbolizing values, understanding, and action for a sustainable and peaceful future. The Peace Circle® model brings these three dimensions to life:

  • ❤️ Heart – values and compassion
  • 💡 Head – understanding and wisdom
  • 🙌 Hands – concrete action

How can UNESCO ASPNet participate?

  • 🌱 Plant trees or create a Pop-up Peace Circle® in your schoolyard, classroom, or hall – a simple circle where students embody values through presence, art, or dialogue.
  • 🎭 Perform or adapt the short ABC for Peace play – a multilingual, student-friendly drama that concludes with the formation of a Peace Circle.
  • 📷 Share your activities on social media with the hashtags #GlobalPeaceCircleDay and #PeaceCircle #ABCForPeace #peaceday

Attached you will find instructions on how to build a Pop-up Peace Circle® in your school – showing how simple it is to bring the idea alive together with your students.

When heart, head and hands work in balance, peace grows – for people and nature.
