On Peace Day 2006 over two million young people in 6000 schools across the UK sang the same song, ‘No Wars Will Stop Us Singing’, from Youth Music’s Singbook. This year POD and Youth Music have teamed up once again to build on last year’s fantastic success. Song for Peace 2007 is open to every school and singing group, not only in the UK, but worldwide.

"I am delighted to give my support to the Song for Peace project. It's an imaginative way of involving young people across the country in the UN International Day of Peace and I hope as many schools as possible take part."
Tony Blair MP, Former Prime Minister
