Description:

Peace Day Global Broadcast production partners are very excited about the 2010 United Nations International Day of Peace Global Broadcast Event.

The 2010 Peace Day Global Broadcast will feature live feeds from celebrations around the world starting Peace Day weekend (starting September 17th), and culminating on the official United Nations Peace Day, September 21st.

This year's Broadcast is centered around solutions to the 8 United Nations Millenium Development Goals which have triggered unprecedented efforts worldwide in the fight against poverty, hunger, disease, a water crisis, and environmental destruction.

New technologies designed for improving all sectors of our society will be featured, such as "PlayPumps," a low cost solution where children play on Merry-Go-Rounds while providing water for entire African Villages, the World Food Program, and other solutions for malnutrition like Plumpynut.

New segments planned for this year include the giving of Pillar of Peace Awards to individuals and organizations doing extraordinary work in the peace building field.

Sponsors for the event are now being sought. There are several different levels at which you can participate. Each level offers excellent worldwide exposure and promotional opportunities for your organization. All sponsor packages include airtime, inclusion of corporate logo on all marketing materials (posters, press releases, websites) before, during and after the event. As with the 2009 Broadcast, this year's broadcast will be available for continuous play following the recording of the live event, ensuring increased value to our participants, and augmenting the educational outcomes we hope to achieve. Contact us if you are interested in participating.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
