10 Years of Peace in Action – Join the Movement!

For a decade (2015 – 2025), Peace Week Delaware has united individuals, communities, and organizations during a week-long celebration of peace. Through rallies, workshops, dialogues, and community-driven initiatives, we have amplified voices, inspired action, and worked toward meaningful change.

All Past Events

Peace is More Than a Word

We celebrate the peacebuilders and advocates who have been part of this movement. They demonstrate that peace requires action and commitment and is everyone’s responsibility. Together, we have proven that change is possible when people join hands.

The Work Continues – Get Involved. Take Action. Keep the Momentum Going

As challenges to peace grow, our commitment must be stronger than ever. The need for a more peaceful community, Delaware, and our world has never been more urgent. Join us as we continue the journey—peace is not just about one week but about fostering a culture of understanding, justice, and change daily.

"I was delighted to find that Peace Week had included an event the focused on the environment"

“I attended a 45-minute nature walk at the Peterson Wildlife Refuge on the Wilmington Riverfront with about fifteen other nature-loving folks, guided by an experienced naturalist from the Ashland Nature Society.  There’s something about the beauty of nature that calms the mind and body – both, from my perspective – important components in the effort to create a more peaceful world.”

-Nancy Pinson, First Unitarian Church of Wilmington

“For me, Peace Week is a standard-bearer for hope, a demonstration of social cohesiveness..."

“People of all faiths and backgrounds come together to help and support each other. We all need a reminder that our future can be more peaceful when we help each other through our emotional and physical traumas.”

       -LaVaida Owens-White, community health nurse and advocate for trauma-informed care.

"Helped me forge new connections with my community"

“Working with Mt. Calvary AME Church of Concord, the recipient of a Peace Pole, helped me  forge new connections within my community.  Not only have I become aware of their work for peace and justice here in western Sussex County, but I got to paint peace rocks with the youth!  These small reminders of peace make me smile every time I see one.”

-Beth Kopicki, Sussex County Peace  Week
