SEPTEMBER 19 – WORLD PEACE MODEL EVENT
One Day – One World – One Shared Stand for World Peace.
We call upon every person, community, institution, and organization
around the world…
We are living in a time when wars, armed conflicts, social tensions, and deepening divisions in many parts of the world are making humanity’s shared future increasingly difficult.
We believe that peace is not solely the concern of governments, political leaders, or international institutions.
Peace is a shared cause and shared responsibility of every human being.
That is why, on September 19,
we invite the world to take part in a special international
model event.
The purpose of the September 19 World Peace Model Event is to create a peaceful model of international cooperation that demonstrates how people, communities, institutions, and organizations in different countries around the world can, on one common day and in cooperation with one another, stand together in support of peace, life, human dignity, and the future of our planet.
- ▫️This is not an event belonging to a single country, city, or organization, but an open invitation to the world.
- ▫️We are not asking everyone to do the same thing.
- ▫️We are not asking everyone to think alike.
- ▫️And there is no need to travel to a single central event.
We ask everyone, on September 19, to do something for peace in their own country, their own city, and their own community, according to their own possibilities.
- This could be:
- ▫️A peace march.
- ▫️A peace gathering.
- ▫️A public discussion.
- ▫️A university or school event.
- ▫️A concert or cultural event.
- ▫️A community gathering.
- ▫️A peace message connected to a sporting event.
- ▫️A prayer or moment of shared silence.
- ▫️A work of art.
- ▫️Any kind of local initiative.
- ▫️Or simply a personal stand in support of peace.
The form is free.
Participation is voluntary.
The initiative is open to every person and community, regardless of political, religious, cultural, or national affiliation.
The most important thing is that on September 19, people in different parts of the world show that:
WE ARE NOT INDIFFERENT TO PEACE.
The goal is not merely to create a single central event, but to demonstrate how independent local and international peace events can connect with one another. An event in one city can connect with an event in a city in another country, and one university can connect with a university on another continent. One civil society organization can establish contact with a community in another country. A small local initiative can be just as much a part of this shared story as an event involving thousands of people. The number of participants is not the most important thing. What matters is that we find one another.
We would like to connect the events taking place on September 19 through a common international forum, where participants can share the initiatives carried out in their own countries and communities.
There may be opportunities for:
- ▫️sharing photographs and videos;
- ▫️live broadcasts;
- ▫️publishing short reports;
- ▫️presenting local events;
- ▫️connecting with participants from other countries;
- ▫️displaying participating events on an international map.
In this way, on September 19, something will not be happening in just one place, but in many places around the world.
And these events — although created independently of one another — can come together through a shared message of peace.
THAT IS WHY WE ASK EVERYONE: TAKE PART!
If you are able to, organize your own event!
- If you are able to, organize your own event!
- ▫️If you cannot organize an event, take part in an initiative organized by another community!
- ▫️If you cannot participate in person, share the message of peace!
- ▫️If you represent an organization, invite its members and partners!
- ▫️If you lead an institution, provide space for the initiative!
- ▫️If you are able to support it, contribute financially, professionally, or through volunteer work!
- ▫️And if you know a community living in another country, invite them to take part as well!
- ▫️Every community can decide for itself what it is able to do.
We would like to connect these separate initiatives so that together they can present the world with an international picture in which millions of people stand peacefully and voluntarily for our shared future.
We want to show that the world is not made up only of images of conflict, war, and division!
We want to show the other, more humane face of humanity as well — one in which people are capable of cooperating, and where, despite their differences, they can find common ground.
A world where peace is not merely a wish, but a shared act of humanity.
