ECHOES OF PEACE
(A Collection of poems and artworks on peace and sustainability)
100 Thousand Poets for Change is a global poetry initiative begun in March 2011, with the vision that poets and artists around the world would organize local poetry/art events simultaneously as a means to discuss real political, environmental and social change within the guidelines of peace and sustainability. The first 100 TPC event was on September 24, 2011 and was a great success with over 600 events in 95 countries. 100 Thousand Poets for Change has held successive events in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and each year there were nearly 700 events in over 100 countries! So the support for this artist driven movement for peace and sustainability continues to strengthen and grow.
