Each year the International Day of Peace (IDP) is observed worldwide on September 21. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace.

According to the UN, this year’s theme is Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals. It is a call to action recognizing our individual and collective responsibility to foster peace. Fostering peace contributes to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will create a culture of peace for all.

S.C.R.A.P. Gallery is partnering with the Cathedral City Peace Initiative to host Pieces For Peace, observing the day on September 21, 2023. There will be a special exhibit at the Cathedral City Senior Center. Create your own Eye See Peace with our template using scraps, strips, and stuff. Need materials? We have free kits too!
