This morning we held the first planning meeting for PeaceWeek 2011. Get your diaries out… the dates will be March 5 - 12. We hope (funding and personnel permitting) to run the usual main events: The Launch, Peaceweek Shield, Lantern Parade, Schools Showcase and OSBA Peace Awards. We will also once again be putting together a package of activities for local schools, and will also like to run the Peace Debate again. As always, we encourage others to add events and activities of their own to come under the PeaceWeek banner, so we can make a greater impact together.  Two further meetings have been arranged for June and July (details below) at which we hope to decide on a theme. A few suggestions were floated today, but there’s room for more. If you have an idea, send it in.

We now have a PeaceWeek 2011 Facebook group. Click here to join. And don’t forget you can also subscribe to this website using the box on the right to receive news of updates as they happen.

Next PeaceWeek planning meetings (everyone welcome… but be willing to make a positive contribution):

• Wednesday June 2, 9.30am at the Millennium Powerhouse, Raby Street, Moss Side.

• Thursday July 8, 6pm at the Carisma Office, St. Mary’s Parsonage, 1 Parsonage Street, Hulme, M15 5WD. (It’s the red door!) This one is in the evening to enable others to come who are normally unable to get to a daytime meeting.
