Balkansko udruženje mladih (uz pomoć EBCO Balkana i Unije srednjoškolaca) ispred Mreže mirovne politike Srbije, organizovalo je proslavu Međunarodnog Dana mira, 21. septembra u Pionirskom parku u Beogradu. Akciju je podržala organizacija iz Holandije Pax Christi.
Na ovaj način priključili smo se i aktivnostima galerije OZONE i NVO-a Umeće Življenja u akciji proslave Dana mira po prvi put u našoj zemlji.

Naša akcija je bila specifična i po svemu veoma originalna.
Zahvaljujući pomoći Etnografskog muzeja, na 6 panoa postavili smo dva blanko pvc banera sa dva različita naslova:
–    prvi je imao pitanje: ŠTA ZA MENE ZNAČI MIR?
–    drugi je imao pitanje: ŠTA ME UZNEMIRAVA?

Građani su imali priliku da sami upišu svoje odgovore, asocijacije, skrivene muke, želje i osećanja na ova dva pitanja, te su rezultati na kraju dana bili više nego zadovoljavajući. Dva blanko platna su pretvorena u dva izuzetna postera prepuna najiskrenijih ljudskih osećanja.
Najoriginalnije i najiskrenije poruke nagrađivali smo majicama sa porukom VOLIM KADA JE MIR!

Ovaj događaj ispratile su i medijske kuće kao što su RTS, Studio B, B92, BK, Metropolis, Bgd202, te ovom prilikom želimo da im se zahvalimo na podršci.

U prilogu, pogledajte i audio-vizuelni zapis i foto-galeriju – imaćete priliku da vidite mnogobrojne originalne napise naših građana, od najmlađih do najstarijih.

Očekujemo da ćemo sledeće godine privući još veći broj građana u nastojanju da se međunarodni dan mira obeležava i kod nas u što većem broju sa velikim akcentom na izuzetnu važnost mira za sve građane sveta.

Zahvaljujemo se svim učesnicima ovog performansa, kao i donatorima koji su pomogli da našu ideju sprovedemo u delo.

Balkan Youth Union (BYU), EBCO Balkan – Belgrade office and Union of highschool pupils, all members of PEACE POLICY NETWORK in Serbia, organized an activity stands for the INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY celebration in Belgrade, in Pionirski park on 21st of September.
By this activity, we joined to gallery Ozone and NGO Umece zivljenja in order to celebrate PEACE DAY in our country for the first time this year.
The activity was funded by PAX CHRISTI Netherlands, thanks to the engagement of Mrs Sladjana Dugonjic Del Castillo.
Our activity was very specific and, according to its purpose, very original and unique.
Thanks to the help of Ethnographic museum, we managed to rent 6 pannels which we used to hold two different blank pvc banners with two different questions for our citizens:
–    1st one was: WHAT DOES PEACE MEAN TO ME?
–    2nd one was: WHAT IS DISTURBING ME?

All citizens that came to Pionirski park had a unique opportunity to express their feelings, their pains, their wishes and their dreams by writing their personal perceptions of peace and their personal perception of disturbance and disorder, anxiety.

Two question were enough to provocate citizens to open their souls and to write sincerely and honestly about what bothers them and about what make them feel good.
The final product, on the end of the day were two beautiful billboards/posters fullfilled with hundreds of thoughts, feelings, dreams, wishes…anxieties, troubles…The result is amazing.

The most original expressions/messages written on the canvas we awarded with T-shirt with a message: I like when it’s PEACE.
This event was covered by many TV and radio stations in our country and we would like to express our gratitude for their presence and help in making this event even bigger.

We expect we could make even bigger event next year for the same purpose in order to continue celebrating PEACE DAY in our country, underlining the core message about the importance of PEACE for all citizens of the World.
We would like to thank to all participants of this performance including our donors that helped us make this idea living.
