An International Participation Project
Imagine receiving a poem or message of peace or love to you from someone in your community or somewhere else in the world...
Through poetry and reflection the Valentine Peace Project encourages actions on Peace leading up to and on the worldwide holiday of Love. We are a growing initiative developing community expressions and imaginings on Peace and the many faces of Love.
On and around February 14 poems will be shared or performed in different cities and communities -
some then wrapped around stems of local and international flowers to give out.
Partners develop peace discussions in schools, poetry workshops, and community actions.
What does Peace mean to you?
Submit a poem or print and share one from our site.
Commit random acts of kindness . . make something beautiful in February and give it away.
Re-discover and generate some of the mystery and magic, integrity and power of Love.
Be a part of the Project in your own unique way or contact us.
Add your community to participants in Canada, Wales, Zimbabwe as well as cities
Antwerp, Amsterdam, The Hague, Berlin, Chicago, Dublin, Rome, New York, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.
"And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us."
"Poetry is an act of peace. Peace goes into the making of a poem as flour goes into the making of bread."
Pablo Neruda
TVPP is serious about peace (see lesson plans under Downloads) and works to also promote the UN International Day of Peace (21 September - internationaldayofpeace.org). We also promote international Fair Trade all year.
We are a collective of schools, programs and artists developing actions, expressions and images to advance the cause of Peace.
