Investing in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day
The Ashanti Regional Peace Council (ARPC) marked the 2026 World Peace Day with a Consultative Peace Education Programme held at the Church of Pentecost, McKeown English Assembly.
Held on the theme “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” the programme brought together about 120 participants, including religious leaders, traditional authorities, youth representatives and other key stakeholders.
The engagement focused on strengthening interfaith dialogue, promoting religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence, and equipping religious stakeholders to identify, prevent and respond constructively to conflicts and emerging tensions.
In their various addresses, speakers underscored the need for consistent investment in peace, social cohesion, responsible citizenship, inclusive participation and respectful public discourse. Participants were also encouraged to use their platforms, including sermons, counselling, youth programmes and community engagements, to promote peace.
The programme reinforced the message that peace is a shared responsibility that requires deliberate and everyday action from individuals, communities and institutions.
