Moments of Peace

In 2021, we would like to make your year different! UNESCO HK Glocal Peace Centre (GPC) encourages you to focus on the moments of peace and tranquility. Participants can capture and share the moments which they feel most peaceful and at ease, and celebrate the different ideas and understandings of how people think of peace.

Challenge yourself to articulate what peace is all about through your photos, and help spread the imagery of peace and let others appreciate peace in the community.

Programme curated by Mr. Wang Wong
