Convened by Civil Society

World UNITY Week is convened as a matter of urgency by an impressive and growing number of international civil society organisations. Designed to connect a wide range of significant interactive events occurring across an 8-day period in June, World UNITY Week offers “Open Space” sessions to host critical conversations that lead to practical actions. We come together to collectively shape our common future, build momentum, inspire hope and catalyse transformation.

Key global organisations that are coming together to convene World UNITY Week include: UNITY EARTH, United Religions Initiative (URI), Parliament of the World’s Religions, the SINE Network, Unify, Whole World View, Global Purpose Movement, Good of the Whole, Four Worlds International, We The World, Together in Creation, World Summit, Global Silent Minute, Garden of Light, Source of Synergy Foundation, Compassion Games, May Peace Prevail On Earth International, and many more.

Called by an Extraordinary Moment

The “Global Pause” caused by the pandemic is uniting the world in new ways.

Key conversations during World UNITY Week will spotlight such topics as: collective climate action, partnerships for peace, global governance, interfaith harmony, sustainable development, the role of business, human rights, disarmament and other key elements of a new kind of future that we want to create.

World UNITY Week is a stop along the road and a “dress-rehearsal” for a large-scale global celebration across Peace Weekend 2020 (September 19-21), centered on the annual U.N. International Day of Peace (September 21). World UNITY Week is committed to achieving the sustainable development goals by 2030.

We the Peoples – Answering the Call of the UN Secretary-General

“We the peoples of the United Nations, to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…”

In Commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, Secretary-General António Guterres has called for “The World’s Biggest Conversation.” This “toolkit for reimagining our future” will be highlighted during World UNITY Week, and the culminating event for World UNITY Week on Saturday June 27 is the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.

The UN75 People’s Declaration is another key global platform that is emerging during this time. The UN75 People’s Declaration affirms: “The paradigm of ‘us versus them’ no longer meets our needs. ‘We the peoples” recognise the reality of our global interdependence. At the heart of the solutions to today’s challenges lies a sincere commitment to a new posture of collaboration, innovation, and action.”
