Plan a Peace Day Event – Sports/Health

Any type of sports activity or health-related event can be turned into a celebration of International Day of Peace. Organizers can dedicate the event to Peace Day and proceeds can go to supporting peacebuilding work. Participants can cooperate instead of competing. And spectators can be encouraged to join in a minute of silence for peace if the event takes place on September 21.
Examples of Peace Day events:

• Organize a "Game for Peace" (any sport)
• Take a "Buddhist approach" to a game – last one wins!
• Organize a game where everybody, regardless of talent, are invited to participate
• Organize a "Yoga for Peace" class, including a meditation on peace
