This year’s Peace and Goodwill Message will celebrate the centenary of the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition 1923-24, highlighting the need to advocate for peace a hundred years on.
A century ago, on the 19th of February 1924, the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition chest was opened with its 390, 296 signatures inside in front of 600 US women at the Baltimore Hotel, New York.
The petition was an act of hope for world peace, and its story has inspired the Urdd to encourage a group of young women to come together to create this year’s Peace and Goodwill Message.
The message emphasizes the importance of taking action and persistently advocating for peace. It asserts that atrocities, wars, and violence must be stopped, and that cooperation, passion, and hope are the driving forces that can lead the towards a better future.
