Remembering War by Working for Peace

Remembering War by Working for Peace: An ANZAC Day Peace Ceremony

We encourage you to join us in a ceremony to ‘never forget’ the full cost of war and ‘never again’ engage in violence to settle our differences.

The ceremony will begin with a brief introduction followed by music, readings and a moment of silence. Those who attend will then get the opportunity to make a pledge towards peace and tie a white ribbon to the Peace Pole to show this.

“The event has been organised by members of the Dunedin community to give people an opportunity to remember all the casualties of war – civilian and military on all sides of past and current conflicts .” says Joe Llewellyn, co-organiser, student at the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. “We hope to peacefully challenge the beliefs, values and institutions that make war inevitable by providing a space for people to gather on ANZAC day and make a commitment towards peace.”

All are welcome.

When: ANZAC Day (Monday the 25th of April) at 12pm.

Where: The Peace Pole, out the front of the Otago Museum, Dunedin.

ENDS
