Schools Peace Week 2017
August 7, 2017 - August 11, 2017
Organised by the Peace Foundation, New Zealand
Schools’ Peace Week 2017 will take place from August 7th – 11th 2017, so put this in your school calendar and ‘Save the Date’! In 2016 we had 264 schools take part in Schools’ Peace Week across Aotearoa NZ, and the globe, and we’re planning for 2017 to be even bigger!
2017 is an especially important year for Schools’ Peace Week, as it is also the 30th Anniversary of New Zealand’s Nuclear Free Zone Act. As such, the Schools’ Peace Week theme for 2017 is: Aotearoa New Zealand – 30 years Nuclear Free (#nuclearfreeNZ #nznf30 #schoolspeaceweek). Peace groups, schools and students across the country will be getting involved in peace and disarmament education and celebrating New Zealand’s success as a peacemaking nation and a world leader in nuclear disarmament.
