Anti-Racism Live Global Digital Experience

In 1999, the non-profit Peace One Day established an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, fixed as 21 September, on the UN International Day of Peace - Peace Day. Since then Peace One Day has worked to manifest awareness and action on the Day, resulting in a large-scale decrease in violence. It is clear that there can be no peace without a culture of anti-racism.

Peace One Day’s experience with Peace Day has led to this joint venture with the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights: Anti-Racism Live Global Digital Experience, 21 March, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Objectives of the broadcast:

• To raise awareness of the Day
• To facilitate conversations that lead to a more diverse and inclusive world
• To set out action points to help individuals and organisations engage with anti-racism
• To establish the link between 21 March Anti-Racism Day and 21 September Peace Day, demonstrating that anti-racism is an essential requirement for peace.

Peace One Day will create a platform from which some of the world’s greatest thinkers on the issue of anti-racism may share their experience, seeking to inform, inspire and engage a global audience. Music from international artists and Words of Peace from some of the world’s leading actors will celebrate the spirit of Race Equality and Justice. Interviews and Panel Discussions with leading moderators will focus on transforming the theoretical into the practical.

The show will be streamed live on the 21st March from this website for free in the following languages: English, Arabic, French, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese!
