United World Week 2020
#InTimeForPeace

May 1 – 7 2020

What is United World Week?

From the 1st – 7th May each year, the United World Week is a global workshop and expo to show stories, actions and initiatives that, in every part of the world, contribute to achieving fraternity, peace and unity among people. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be 100% online.

The main events

Saturday 2nd May, 12.00 (UTC+2): the live streaming “#InTimeForPeace Web Event” will connect different cities on the planet, telling stories and actions, hosting debates and having artistic performances.

Sunday, May 3rd, from 11.00 am to 12.00 noon in each time zone: there will be a virtual “Run4unity“. A sports event, a non-stop relay that will cross the globe, with games, challenges, testimonies and commitments to symbolically spread a rainbow of peace on earth.

The theme

This year’s theme is “In Time for Peace“. That is, despite everything, today, now, we are still in time for peace, we are still in time to build peace, to build fraternity. This is the time, we can no longer wait. We must do everything we can to make peace a reality. Now.

The United World Week thus symbolically joins the call for a global ceasefire launched by the Secretary General of the United Nations Antònio Guterres and the many calls for peace and care for the most vulnerable, in this time of pandemic from Pope Francis and others.
