This year, to celebrate International Peace Day (September 21, every year), up and down the UK children in schools, choirs and youth groups have been learning a specially commissioned Song for Peace. Children across the country will sing the song No Wars Will Stop Us Singing on 21 September 2006.

The song was originally written for Youth Music's Singbook by award-winning duo Debbie Wiseman and Don Black. It is promoted by BBC Radio 2 presenter Aled Jones, and the NASUWT teachers' union and the charity Youth Music are leading the celebrations.

In 1999, British filmmaker Jeremy Gilley launched a new film project called Peace One Day. In September 2001, Peace One Day achieved one of it's key objectives when a United Nations General Assembly resolution (A/Res/55/282), put forward by the UK and Costa Rican governments, was unanimously adopted by all UN member states, formally establishing an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on the UN International Day of Peace, fixed in the global calendar on 21 September - Peace Day.

Tim Evans's tour across England to challenge negative stereotyping of young people is gonna be on the radio!

Radio 5 Live, 10-10.30am, Thursday 21 September.

And it's also World Peace Day - how appropriate, eh?!

Tim Evans, one of our number here in the Birmingham community, and his mate Dave Wiles are in the middle of a journey of protest, for want of a better word, to highlight the negative stereotyping of young people in Britain and to publicise the launch of a new fund, Talent – Youth in Action, to help young people create their own positive stories for the media.

But here's the catch: four cities in four days, but only a tenner each to survive on - that's right, only £10 each for four days!
