The Ashland Culture of Peace Commission along with UN NGO Pathways To Peace are two of 36 organizations that have come together to create Peace on Earth by 2030. It’s a moonshot for humanity and is designed to literally change the world. Humanity is ready and we’re going for it! You’re invited to an information session to learn how you can participate.
At this meeting you’ll learn about the vision, how you can play the Peace on Earth by 2030 game called “The Game” and create a “Peace on Earth Zone” in Ashland and additional communities, and your
organization is invited to participate.
The Game and Peace on Earth Zones are based on the seven strategies that ignited and enabled the world to come together in a common cause to bring a torch of peace around the world in 1986 and create Peace on Earth wherever it went. Called the First Earth Run, over a billion people around the world witnessed this global unitive event via the media with 25 million people and 45 heads of state in 62 countries directly participating. It was a rare moment on the planet, but now because the time is right, the torch has been rekindled and an emerging grassroots movement is saying: “Yes, we can do this! Why not Peace on Earth? Why not now?”
The Game is built around seven unitive actions: Empowerment, Oneness,
Unity, Cooperation, Abundance, Love, and Faith. These actions have been
combined with robust social change tools honed and tested in hundreds of
cities with millions of people during the almost four decades since
1986. When The Game is brought to a community and combined with these
social change tools it creates a Peace on Earth Zone. This begins with a
conversation and moves to the collaborative how.
The Game and Peace on Earth Zones have been successfully piloted over the past four years by 1,500 plus people in nine countries: Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, and the United States. They have achieved remarkable results with over 10,000 actions taken and awe-inspiring personal and community transformations. The Game is now ready to be brought to scale. The first phase is a global online version of The Game from August 2 to September
20, 2023. Zoom Registration https://poe.earth/global-game
The Game’s seven actions are quests you take in your life to experience and model for others Peace on Earth. This is combined with participating in eight weekly 2-hour meetings to debrief your quest and
prepare for the next one, learn from one another’s experiences, and participate in a global community of humanity’s dream keepers.
To learn more about The Game and how to bring it to your community attend the Peace on Earth information meetings on Wednesday, July 19 from 5 to 6:30 pm PDT and 8 to 9:30 pm ET. If you can’t attend, register to receive the recording. Special Peace on Earth information meetings can be arranged for organizations of 25 or more people. Zoom registration: https://poe.earth/info-july-19 [5]
We hope you join this growing global movement to create Peace on Earth by 2030 and Peace on Earth Zones are planned to be established in Ashland. We are changing the world and with your participation, we can do it sooner!
