The Echo Center (formerly the Center for Nonviolent Education and Parenting) is holding a Peace Day picnic at the Echo Park Recreation Center on Sunday, September 19 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The International Day of Peace “provides an opportunity for  individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on  a shared date. It  was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly.” The picnic is an opportunity for Echo Center families to connect.

At The Echo Center, we will comemorate this special day of peace and nonviolence by having a super fun Peace Day Picnic this Sunday!  This is a fun-filled, casual way to connect with other Echo Center families.

The picnic will take place at the Echo Park Recreation Center at 1632 Bellevue Ave.

The Echo Center/CNVEP will provide water, games, art activities provided by the Art Zone, and “empathy.”
