PeaceWeek is about generating good news in an area infamous for bad and declaring to the world that there is far far more to our young people than gangs and guns.  Coordinated by CARISMA, It has been happening every spring since 2003, run for and by the community... which means it is as big as the number of people, groups and organisations that join in. This should of course include the followers of the Prince of Peace. PeaceWeek 2009 will be March 7-14. Check out the new website, and see what has happened in previous years here.

We are very keen for PeaceWeek to spread to other parts of the city - steal any ideas you want - just let us know you're having a go. The more areas get involved, the greater the impact across the city. Why not the churches taking the initiative to unite the community and celebrate Peace and positivity in your area in 2009?
