At the PeaceWeek planning meeting today we went through the basic details for several of the regular events for PeaceWeek 2012, which will be February 25 to March 3. These were The Launch Event, The Lantern Parade (subject to sponsorship being agreed) and the OSBAs. We also looked at the work in local schools, and thought about a theme. It looks like we will be going with “Fit for Peace” - very apt in an Olympic year. Other possibles include the Peace Debate and PeaceWeek Shield, but these depend on finding people who are willing to run them.
And of course, there is the usual opportunity for whoever wants to to run their own PeaceWeek event or activity. This can be something you do already re-purposed or given a Peace theme, or it can be something special and new.
We are aware that this will be PeaceWeek number 10, and we are thinking of ways in which we can reflect back on a decade of Peace Weeks and celebrate the many positives that have come out of them. If you have any particular memories or stories or photos (embarrassing is OK) to contribute please send an email.
Finally, advance notice that the next PeaceWeek planning meeting will be on Wednesday November 23, 12.30-2pm at the Carisma Office.

Due to a mix of people being away, delayed in traffic, and stuck for transport (and not wanting to drown while walking), today’s PeaceWeek meeting was postponed. Profuse apologies to anyone who did make it through the rain and hail.
So… the first planning meeting for PeaceWeek 2012 (Feb 25 - Mar 3) will now be on Thursday November 3rd, 12.30pm. Venue is the Carisma Offices, St Mary’s Parsonage, 1 Parsonage Street, Hulme, M15 5WD (the Red Door). This will be PeaceWeek number 10, so it would be great to make it a bit special. 2012 being the London Olympics year, we are thinking about having a related theme. One idea so far is “Fit for Peace”. What do you think? As always, for more information, phone the office 0161 225 9905 or send an email.
