Peace Day Hawai'i – Creating a Culture of Peace in the Pacific

What

In 2007, Hawaiʻi Act 23, declared: “September 21st of each year shall be known and recognized as ‘Peace Day’ to promote peace programs, improve international relations, and increase educational awareness of peace.”Hawaiʻi thus became the first state in the United States to join more than 200 countries in celebrating the United Nations International Day of Peace and Non-Violence that was established by a unanimous UN resolution in 1981.

When

The 2017 Celebration of Peace Day Hawai’i took place on, September 16, 2017, at the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) Hawaiʻi Culture Center, Honolulu. (The Olelo film production will be posted soon!)
