Observing the UN International Day of Peace
21 September @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

From the wars dominating our newsfeeds to rising violence in everyday life, peace feels fragile. Yet peace begins with people — with us.
On Sunday, join the UNESCO Hong Kong Association, Rotary Action Group for Peace, and HKU Common Core to observe the UN International Day of Peace @ HKU.
Date: 21 September 2025 (Sunday)
Time: 9:30–11:00 AM
Venue: HKU Common Core/ BASc Lounge, Main Building 150
Fees: Free of charge for all HKU students
What we’ll do:
💬 Kick off with an interactive workshop: What really is peace? Positive vs. negative peace, the Global Peace Index, and why peace matters.
🌐 Discover UNESCO and Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) as cornerstones of peacebuilding.
🎨 End with a hands‑on workshop to create your own thread‑bound notebook of the 24 Solar Terms.
