Starting Friday, September 21, Unity Foundation’s Peace Day Global Broadcast will celebrate its 10th Anniversary with more than 24 hours of entertaining performances, encouraging messages, and empowering news.
*******************************************************
The Peace Day Global Broadcast is hosted by PeaceChannel.com, the only streaming non-profit network that focuses 24/7 on peace, prosperity and protecting the planet. The webcast also streams live from dozens of other peace sites, including the European Parliament’s Pledge to Peace site and http://www.un.org/en/
A highlight of the Peace Day Global Broadcast will be live coverage of a ceremony lighting the World Peace Flame in Ashland, Oregon at the Thalden Pavilion, Sustainability Center, Southern Oregon University. Savitri MacCuish, Executive Director of the The World Peace Flame Foundation will be traveling from The Hague, Netherlands to light the Flame with University President Linda Schott. The first World Peace Flame was lit in Wales from seven sacred flames from five continents in 1999. The flame reminds us of the sacred flame that burns within each human being. The Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) and Pathways To Peace (PTP) support the lighting ceremony. The event is being organized by the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission.
“A decade ago, Unity Foundation launched the Peace Day Global Broadcast to celebrate the message that peace is really possible,” explains Bill McCarthy, founder of Unity Foundation and co-founder of the Peace Day Global Broadcast. “Since then, we’ve been honored by participation from world leaders and international celebrities. Our audience has grown each year. Last year, we had more than 700,000 views in more than 130 countries. This year, we plan to surpass a million views.”
