Today, September 11, Sister Cities International is launching our Type, Talk & Transform World Peace effort. This is a month of discussion and action by Sister Cities International, our 2,300-community network, and you - citizens of the world. We invite you to use this space to add your voice on how we can achieve world peace together. Additionally, our organization and the local sister city programs will host events, programs, online forums and raise awareness for the urgency for world peace. Watch this site and our website, www.sister-cities.org/worldpeace for daily updates and news.
September 11 has a double meaning for Sister Cities International. It marks the day when we were founded by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 as a citizen diplomacy organization dedicated to finding world peace and the day that we remember one of the most destructive acts of terrorism in global history. The juxtaposition of these two moments on this day is stunning.
During the course of our month-long effort, we will post ideas and questions about world peace, react to world news (good and bad) and ask to respond. Provide your opinion on world peace - this is your place.
Question of Day: Since 9/11/01, name one world event that gives you hope for peace?
