Building the Great America Peace Trail to Stop the Violence in America's Youth - The Parma Peace Stone Sculpture Dedication Ceremony
4:00 PM - 12:00 AM

The Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) had its conception at EXPO 2000, Germany's World's Fair 'Culture on the Move' segment. American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca addressed the 140 Nation Assembly of the concept for a physical permanent universal symbol of renewal and peace on earth for all living inhabitants through the 'Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts'. This Universal Symbol of Living Peace was the WCPM Sculpture. The project was initiated at EXPO 2000 in cooperation with the United Nations 2000 Culture of Peace Program and organized in support of the UN Decade of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The WCPM was officially inaugurated in 2003 at the 3rd World Peace Conference held in Verbania, Italy where it received an Italian Medal of Arts Award. It is currently located at Coe Lake Park in Berea, Ohio http://bereabuzz.blogspot.com/2013/02/building-national-coast-to-coast-great.html

The Parma Peace Stone Sculpture at German Central Farm is another step forward to nationalizing ‘Great American Peace Trail’, the coast-to-coast trail of WCPM Peace Stones in city parks designed to stop the violence in America’s youth. The WCPM Project also helps encourage positive community participation through the establishment of this international site-specific works of public art, through cultural education and entrepreneurial training to children around the World.

The Parma Peace Stone Sculpture Dedication is proud to an official part of the City of Parma's Bicentennial Celebration. Follow us on Parma World Peace Daily https://www.facebook.com/groups/ParmaPeaceCity/
