The Motivational Speaker

The Griffith University Multi-Faith Centre invites members of all communities to its International Day of Peace Commemoration on Thursday, 17 September, 2009, 7:15-9:00pm.

I will be delivering one of the key presentations of this evening.

In 2002, the United Nations designated September 21^st each year as the International Day of Peace (IDP), as a day to encourage all peoples and countries to make a commitment to world unity, a global ceasefire and non-violence.

This event is an opportunity for individuals, communities and organizations to witness and participate in a multi-faith commemoration for peace. In the lead up to the IDP, it will enable participants to link with millions of people and many governments, regional and non-government organizations, faith/religious communities and educational institutions engaged in IDP events.

The Program will include:

• A multimedia, multi-faith reflection on Peace
• Two presentations on peacemaking
  • A lasting peace in Sri Lanka?
    The way forward from a Christian perspective
    - Rev. Pan Jordan
  • The challenge of peace-building among children and youth
    The Together for Humanity experience
    - Ronit Baras
• Musical performances for peace
