Big Man Ting

What does it mean to be a man of peace?

Sometimes, it is knowing when to speak... and when to listen.

Knowing how to handle conflict without getting aggressive.

Looking out for the people around you.

And having no fear about speaking up when something isn’t right..

These are the conversations that matter.

Today is the International Day of Peace, and de man dem in our Big Man Ting Programme are adding our voices to those conversations…you can too:

Invest in Peace. For Everyone. Everywhere. Every Day.

Today, as we observe International Day of Peace, we are reminded that peace is something we must nurture every day.

Under the theme “Invest in Peace for Everybody, Everywhere and Every Day,” the Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA), together with its partners, is launching the Trees for Peace Competition 2026–2027 at Tavares Gardens Primary.

Just as a tree needs care to grow, peace needs kindness, understanding, respect and support to take root and flourish.

Let’s teach our children that creating a peaceful world starts with the choices we make every day — how we speak, how we treat others and how we resolve our differences.

Let’s plant the seeds of peace today for a more peaceful tomorrow.

On Monday, September 21, we’ll celebrate International Day of Peace under the theme: “Invest in Peace for everybody, everywhere and every day.”

To mark the day, the Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) and its partners will launch this year’s Trees for Peace Competition at Tavares Gardens Primary School.

It’s about more than planting trees. It’s about teaching our children that, just like a tree, peace needs to be planted, nurtured and cared for if it is going to grow.

Let’s invest in peace in our schools, our communities and in each other.
