The U.N. International Day of Peace was first celebrated in 1982 as a day to announce ceasefires in conflict areas around the world. It began as a moveable date taking place on the opening day of each new Session of the U.N. General Assembly in September. In September 2001 the UN decided to permanently fix the International Day of Peace on September 21st starting in 2002.
 
In 2004 We, The World launched 11 Days of Global Unity Sept. 11-21 symbolically marking the global transformation of fear to hope. In 2006 11 Days takes on even greater significance starting with the 100 year Anniversary of Gandhi's first nonviolent action on Sept. 11th and including 11 Days of Forgiving and other Gandhian practices of Satyagraha. 11 Days  of Global Unity is designed to maximize public awareness about humanity's major challenges and encourage involvement in the solutions.
