#InternationalDayOfPeace#YouthForPeace#UNESCO@CaribbeanUN
On 21 September, we celebrate the International Day of Peace! 🕊️
Reflecting on this year’s theme, “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” peace is shaped through the everyday actions of people everywhere — in our homes, schools and communities.
The moments captured here are from #YouthForPeace in Jamaica 🇯🇲 UNESCO’s initiative supporting young people to develop the skills and confidence to manage conflict peacefully and become agents of change in their schools and communities.
