INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY

In support of the 25th Anniversary of the United Nations International Day of Peace, Glenn Perry joins the United Nations to celebrate the International Day of Peace on 21st September by producing a music concert for peace. The International Day Peace Concert, a show celebrating the message of the worldwide event will be held at the Mazaya Centre in Dubai on the 21st of September commencing at 7.00pm. Everyone is invited to attend the Peace concert which is free. "This is a wonderful opportunity for people of all walks of life to reach out and communicate with each other how we can all join together in the road towards peace," At 12.00 noon on the 21st of September, Perry urges everyone to observe a minutes silence for Peace in this world.

The International Peace Day concert will be hosted by Glenn Perry and will feature talented young musicians from the UAE. In addition to music, Perry will also feature dance performances, poetry recitals, childrens art show and peace readings. Perry will then take stage and render an exclusive performance of popular songs including his very own hits in celebration of the International Peace Day. Perry has especially composed a new peace song entitled "A Smile Is The Answer" which he will debut at the concert. "Music, I believe is a catalyst for unity. Music has the power to hold cultures together. There are not many other factors that bring people together. Through my music I want touch peoples hearts and to move them to bring about a positive change in this world".

Perry's Peace concert in Dubai is a part of a global association for peace. On this Peace Day, 2500 peace events in more than 175 countries are being held around the world. The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The United Nations Assembly declared that the 21st of September every year, should be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence. Since over a decade Perry has been organizing peace events on the 21st of September to mark the International Day of Peace. Throughout the years, Perry has also been very active in the organization of various Peace events which involved all sectors of society, including students of all ages. The goal was to help create an atmosphere and spread the message of tolerance, respect, and love for ones neighbour.

Perry is a committed peace activist. Some of the peace events Perry has organized include Harmony for Peace, Music for Peace, Walk for Peace, Art for Peace, Hope of Joy, Dance for Peace, Drive for Peace, Actors for Peace, March for Peace, Fast for Peace and Peace Vigils. He even recorded two CD albums dedicated to peace. Perry says to achieve real peace, "We must first find peace within ourselves. After we find peace within ourselves we should then spread this peace into our families, schools, community, country and finally the entire world. Peace cannot be bought in a supermarket or a department store. Unfortunately peace cannot even be bought with a credit card. But the great news is that peace is available, free of cost, and it is lurking right in front of us. Peace is possible if we try and if we give peace a chance".

"Aiming at peace means giving ourselves the possibility to see beyond materialism. Peace can only be built one step at a time and through individual and public actions. To achieve peace, we must first accept human diversity, acknowledge and respect other people's dignity, make an effort to understand others, try and solve conflicts peacefully and encourage solidarity" says Perry.
