Jeremy Gilley and the Peace Day

Today we were introduced to the international Global Peace Day, the day that represents global peace, seize-fire, and non-violence. We learned about Jeremy Gilley, the founder of the Peace Day, and after that we were lucky enough to have an exclusive skype call with him! He told us about how his organization managed to officially invent the Global Peace Day, about the two documentaries he made, and about their purpose. My impression of him was very clear from the beginning to the end; what a passionate and energetic person! He passionately told us about some of the most important and impacful events that he had been part of, and how the implementation of Peace Day had made it possible to save thousands of lives. We watched two films about Jeremy and the Peace Day aswell, and I was left with a clear image of Jeremy's ambitions and what Global Peace Day actually is. Jeremy's goal is to create awareness of the Peace Day, and make as many people as possible believe in and remember it. That way, he hopes to make a change to mean people's behavior, and also that an effective Peace Day, any successful result of the day, could work as inspiration for people to believe. Believe in that world peace is actually possible.
