Spanish schools tend to celebrate the International Day for Peace on January 30th, the day of Mahatma Gandhi's death.
Many other countries and also the UN, celebrate this day on March 21st. The date is not so important as long as we take the opportunity to reflect about the meaning of peace and what we can do in order to achieve it.
Peace One Day has a website full of ideas and initiatives to bring peace to the world. It is worth paying a visit (watch video Peace one day in 60 seconds).

In the following video he explains how he did it.
