Global Peace Foundation (GPF) Brazil celebrated the International Day of Peace with the youth of Aparecida de Goiânia on September 21, 2024.

The special day involved the young people of the GPF Shalom project, a program that instills values of peace, cooperation, and global understanding in young Brazilians. The event not only celebrated this iconic day but also marked the launch of a youth sports competition.

During the event, young people participated in a series of activities that promoted reflection on world peace and highlighted the importance of sport as a tool for unity and peaceful conflict resolution. The youth sports competition is an initiative that seeks to foster team spirit, discipline, and mutual respect among the community’s youth. It is expected to end at the end of the month with a closing ceremony that will continue to highlight the values of peace and coexistence.

Such initiatives underline GPF Brazil’s commitment to creating a culture of peace among new generations. By engaging young people in activities that promote cooperation and respect, GPF Shalom contributes to building a future in which peace is more than an ideal, becoming a palpable reality in their everyday lives.

The commemoration of the International Day of Peace in Aparecida de Goiânia is a reminder that peace begins with small acts of understanding and collaboration and that young people play an essential role in building a better world.
