Meet Some of Our Event Organizers
How we do it?
We partner with community organizations.
Peace Week Delaware brings together community organizations and people for an annual week of free nonpartisan events to promote harmony, equity and justice in our community. Each organization promotes peace in the way that best fits its mission.
Impacting Our Community
In 2023 Peace Week events were held in churches, synagogues, and mosques, libraries, and parks. Some events were in person and some were virtual. Community activists and organizers marched in the streets, played Bingo with seniors, sponsored pizza with the police, and created crafts and read stories with our little ones – and much more.
Event topics included ending homelessness, righting recidivism, being a force for peace, ending gun violence, and stamping out invasive plants – to name just a few.
During Peace Week Delaware, we danced in the streets, walked a labyrinth to find inner peace. We spoke out against hate, enjoyed ice cream and music with others, and appreciated visionary art work from our youth.
What will 2024 bring? It’s in your hands.
By the Numbers: Impacting Our Community
Events
In 2023, we offered 43 in-person events and 7 virtual events. Before the pandemic, in 2019, we offered 110 events and 35 in our inaugural year, 2016. This year, we are again planning a mix of virtual and in-person events.
Counties
We have steadily grown to cover the State. One-fourth of all events last year originated in Sussex county and we are working hard to increase our presence in Kent county. Virtual programming is increasing accessibility and diversity.
Themes
Our event organizers plan events around themes such as: well-being, racial inequity, trauma care, mental health and inclusion, providing valuable, current information to Delawareans.
Years
In our ninth year of programming, we continue to lead the way in repairing our brokenness from a tough pandemic year and helping to restore the health of our community; to make it a place where all are respected and valued.
