Leeds Peace Trail on 21st Sept
 To mark the UN World Day of Peace on 21st September Leeds City Council, The Peace Museum and Together for Peace are pleased to launch the Leeds Peace Trail and map.
The trail (including an A2 map and podcast) suggests walking routes around the city centre which will introduce people to a variety of stories of social action and peacemaking, from past to present. A range of sites of historic interest and stories that will raise awareness on local and global issues and people have been chosen that include: war, refugees & asylum, equality, nuclear effects, human rights, apartheid, violent crime, destitution, and campaigning.
"The development of this Peacetrail will help to spread the message that individuals and groups can bring about change for the better. It will take people on an interesting journey around the city showing the rich, peace heritage that carries through to the present day."
The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Judith Elliott
