On Wednesday the 22nd of September, revolutionary poetry and hip-hop movements, Zimbabwe Poets for Human Rights and Chimoto came together to commemorate the International day of Peace. The event was held at the Alliance Francaise de Harare. There was a whooping crowd of more than 100 poetry lovers in attendance. The most unique aspect of the party was the game-no-rules aspect that saw poets doing their stuff with a lof props and costumes and the variety of languages that they used that include shona, english, ndebele, kalanga and shangani.

In partnership also was the Zimbabwe German Society that provided visual artists who were capturing the mood of the verses on canvas. The event was part of the Ukubambana Youth Peace Festival which ran from the 21st to the 25th of September and was being supported by the Zimbabwe Youth Organisations Network.
