Song-writing and singing clubs and groups should come up and spread cheer among the masses with their presence. Singing about peace and feeling that touches heart will bring positivity around. Music has great power over our minds. We should celebrate the lives lost in war and call them our martyrs but we should sing and praise the significance of peace. Music can greatly spread this message.

Painting Galleries and Exhibits:
Paintings are another way to celebrate this day. In fact, a picture that one sees has different interpretations. Moreover, the meaning that a painting may hold according to the viewer may entirely be different from what the artist may want to convey. That is the beauty of art. The power of paintings leaves an impression so tight on our hearts that those become the symbols. We can speak our heart without uttering a single word through art.
Artists should step forth and botch the canvas with colors and create messages of peace. Children at school, clubs, and people from the streets should be called and asked to paint. Fares should be arranged, competitions should be held and rewards should be given. These activities would help ignite the lost feelings and emotions. It will highlight the significance of peace.

Clubs should arrange sittings and talk about such people like Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Martin Luther, etc. Remembering such people will leave an imprint on the minds of people. Their contributions will teach that non-violence is the greatest power that unites souls.
